"Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together." -James Cash Penney-
Hustle and Bustle.....
Please slow down for a bit and think about how you can make these last two weeks special for our students. As Ann's notes stated last week, our students might not have all of the family gatherings, presents, and holiday cheer that we have in our lives.
Think back to your elementary days in school - what do you remember? What sticks with you as meaningful? You have two weeks to provide something memorable for your students, what will it be?
Some Ideas to consider:
Racing Reindeer - create a reindeer rocket that will go the furthest distance
Learn about holidays around the world
Create a maze using candy canes - get the marble from one end to the other
Create a marshmallow catapult - goal to go furthest
Create a sleigh that can hold so much weight
And the list could go on.........think of all the reading, writing, math and science that you can incorporate into each of these ideas above.
Time to book the Maker Space room - on our NS sharepoint
