Happy Friday!

Great news! We have no make-ups for the EOG, so everyone has finished!!

This week we will be participating in 2 STEM projects. One the students have been working on developing an insulator to keep their water bottles cold on field day. Today, they are asked to gather any household items, such as aluminum foil, newspapers, Styrofoam, bubble wrap, etc. that can help them create their insulator next week. The second project we do as a grade level every year – solar ovens. They test them by making Smores outside. We are in need of a few materials. Please sign-up on the Sign-up Genius if you can help:  https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.signupgenius.com%2Fgo%2F904054CACAA229-solar&data=02%7C01%7CAmanda.Griscti%40cobbk12.org%7Ccf2d9644f85542584b4f08d6cff9747f%7C2fce1dfb919f4938aab8c47f0fc9182d%7C0%7C0%7C636925067632704563&sdata=HKK0b%2FCuMwCAaR%2FmPG2QCf78MruLCZm4ne9GFv94J%2BE%3D&reserved=0Materials are needed by Wednesday, May 8th.
