Materials Needed ASAP!
With the flu making it's way around, we are becoming diligent about using Clorox wipes to wipe down tables, chairs, and handles each day at the end of class. If you could send us a tube or two of wipes, we'd appreciate it. We are running low!
We are also in need of craft items as we transition to making 3D models in space science. We are running out of these materials:
-craft sticks
-hot glue sticks
-modeling clay
-balloons (variety of colors)
Mindset - Change with the Times
"a growth mindset culture leads to faster growth and improvement, higher performance and resilience, greater creativity and innovation, more positive and collaborative relationships, better ethical behavior and greater diversity for business leaders and organizations."
