Science
This Thursday, April 30th
the boys’ science class has the project board and model/prototype of their
inventions due for Invention Convention, which is on Friday, May 1st.
The boards are being assembled in class, no problem!
The part that is getting
down to the wire is their models/ prototypes. I’m a little nervous about these
getting completed. The boys need to bring materials they still need for their
models to class tomorrow. These do not have to be working models/prototypes,
just a 3D labeled model of their invention. I will be giving them time to work
on this in class, and I am willing to stay after school so teams can use the
classroom to get this project completed. I will be staying until 5:00pm for any
teams that want to work together on Tuesday and Thursday. Grades will be adversely affected by
incomplete projects.

STEM community garden
Two weeks ago the sixth
grade students planted seeds for a community garden that we are creating. We
planted organic beans, spinach, tomatoes, zucchini, squash and four types of
lettuce. Our sprouts are growing in our windows! We need a place to plant our
starter plants!
A local businessman, Greg
Hayes, has donated lumber, soil, and rocks we will need to build four raised
beds. The lumber for our beds is being milled and will be ready by the end of
the week. We need some volunteers to help us see this project through. We need
the lumber to be picked up from the mill and delivered to school. We need some
volunteers who know how to build raised beds to show our students how these can
be built, and involve students in the building. I will be there to assist also!
If you are willing to volunteer to
help us see our project through, please contact me at either (425)239-1760 or dawncarrillo@me.com .
