100th Day of School:
Next Friday, February 9th,is our 100th day of school. That is cause for a celebration- a STEM Challenge celebration! We are hoping you can help us with supplies. Please send your child with 50 consumable items in a single gallon size ziplock bag on Thursday, February 8th. Your child will be partnered with a grade level peer and together they will combine materials and complete a variety of “100” themed challenges. The challenges will be a surprise- but think of items that could be used to build. Items will not be returned home after challenges. Your child should choose to bring 50 of the same item (notecards, popsicle sticks, straws, dixie cups, etc). Be creative and think building materials.
