Engineering our own paintbrushes

REMINDER.... We need a parent volunteer to coordinate a basket for the Harvest Dinner, basket raffle. Each class is to put together a basket. Please let us know if you can do this. This is a parent responsibility, teachers do not have time for this. Please refer to the bulletin or ask us for more information. Thank you.

Language Arts had a twist from our regular schedule. We had three different work stations today that we took turns exploring. We had a puzzle station, an Eric Carle book station with a couple activities of retelling and sequencing. As well as a word work station.
 

Word puzzle building and reading stories and sequencing, as well as a color project after. 

We read the book Iggy Peck, Architect, by Andrea Beaty. It was a great intro to our science activity. We had the great challenge of being Engineers and making our own paint brush. We all drew what we thought would be a great paint brush to invent. Then we had time to make our own and try it out. 

 

Choosing our materials.

Testing our paint brushes...success! Though some found they needed to make some minor adjustments to keep their brushes together. Nice job Engineers!!!!!
