Dear Families,

As you know, our kindergartners are currently learning about push, pull, force and motion.  On MARCH 17TH, we will be putting on our “engineer hats” and designing and constructing a model of a toy that can be moved across the floor in different directions with a push and/or pull. We would like each child to bring in items from home for this project. Any recycled materials that can be used to make a model toy should be sent in. A few examples include:

egg cartons       tissue boxes

cereal boxes        cardboard

toilet paper rolls        paper towel rolls

string

empty  spools

lids

straws

empty plastic jars

balls

yarn

pipe cleaners

I would also appreciate donations of duct tape.  I would like to gather a lot of items that the kids can use to build their project, so the more, the merrier!  I would like to recruit some parents to help with this project.  If you are available from 10:00-11:30ish on March 17, please email me.   It would be great if parent volunteers would bring a power drill or hot glue gun to help students with their creations. We are looking forward to this project.  Please send your child’s items to school between now and March 17th.

Thank you for your support!
