Hello Parents,
I hope this email finds you well. This Thursday we will be doing a STEM Building activity in the classroom. The kids have been learning a little about simple machines and have begun designing traps to catch the Gingerbread Man. They have made a list of items that they can find at home to bring to school to build their traps and have kept them in their homework folders. Their list may include things like shoeboxes, dental floss, plastic cups, old shoelaces etc. If they cannot find certain items on their list, please help them come up with alternatives. Please do not go to the store to buy anything. This activity is meant to encourage creativity and out of the box thinking. I want kids to engineer traps made out of found objects from home and the classroom.
Please help your child gather some materials in a bag and bring it to school on Thursday. If you have any questions or concerns about this activity, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mrs. Boayes
