Construction Bridge Project
Today we finally tested our bridges. In order to get the maximum grade for durability, the bridge design had to be strong and sturdy. It must held over 2 kilograms of weight, not sagging or failing. Of course we had other criteria to assess the planning, design, teamwork, appearance and modifications during the building process.
Before testing we elected the bridge with the best design/appearance and the bridge the students thought would hold most weight.
Take a look at full rubric assessment for the bridges and the videos with the testing on Seesaw!
AARCS Fundraiser
Thank you so much to everyone who helped support our AARCS fundraiser! We tried to make extra treats last year since the treats were such a hit! We’ve even heard from quite a few families that the recipes we used this year were very well received by the cats and dogs enjoying them!
Our goal was to raise $500 this year and we currently have raised $374. We have sold out of dog treats but still have several cat treats available. We will continue to sell the cat treats on Monday in the office for $3 if you are interested, and will also be taking donations if you would like to contribute.
A representative from AARCS will be coming to the school on Tuesday, December 17th to accept our donation. She will be taking a photograph of the students that will be posted on the AARCS social media to show their thanks. She may also be bringing a pet with her - please let us know of any pet allergies.
At the beginning of the year, a form was sent home for families to indicate whether they want their children to be included in the media/third party coverage. We have gone through these forms and will ensure that students who were not given consent to be included will not be in the photo. If you did give your child consent at the beginning of the year but would not like your child to be included in the AARCS photo, please let us know via writing/email before Tuesday morning.
Thanks again for all of your support!
