Support Our Library
One bed is too hard, one bed is too soft, but we want Goldilocks' bed to be just right! Connecting to the famed story Goldilocks and the Three Bears, students in Mrs. Crans' library classes will be given the task to make a bed that is "just right" for Goldilocks. Students will use their STEAM skills (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) to design and construct the bed using common household and school items.
In order for Mrs. Crans to get this STEAM project started, we need your help in the form of the following materials:
- index cards
- paper towel tubes (for this and another project)
- pennies (for weight)
- pipe cleaners
- craft sticks (all sizes)
- rolls of blue painters tape
- rolls of masking tape.
Donations of any of these materials can be sent to the Concord Library. Thank you for your support of this exciting learning experience for our kids!
