Engineering Week

February 22-24 - Engineering Week.  3 Days of activities based on Engineering.  Professional Engineers
                           will be in on Thursday to talk about their professions. 


Students will work on two engineering activities this week.  5th Graders will work on spaghetti towers and houses which simulate the ones constructed in The Three Little Pigs.  6th graders will learn about dome structures and tables chairs.  Students will be given simple materials to construct the projects

I have added some new links to this sight that you may be interested in looking at.  How to Smile and Engineering Go For It are sites that have many projects and activities for teachers, parents and students.   Eagle Cam is a live streaming video feed of a pair of Eagles in Iowa that are nesting.  This is a fun site to check in on,  especially when the eggs are ready to hatch.
