We had our Invention Convention Kick-Off with Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Pascual today. Now is the time for the kids to begin brainstorming their amazing inventions! Between now and next Monday, students will need to look around their world and think about problems they see. This Problem Finding sheet will be due next Monday (3/4). The end result of all this brainstorming will be an invention created by your child.
Through the guidance of Mrs. Bates, students will learn more about the design process and Mrs. Pascual will be showing the students how to create their own Power Points in Tech Lab here at school. The invention itself is something students will be creating at home. The final project will not be due until early May. I will give you a specific date as time draws closer. For now, only the Problem Finding sheet is due next week. Students may work with a partner in their class, and parents are welcome to help with the tricky stuff (like using power tools ect..)

She has been so kind to give us her time in the mornings starting at 7:20 to work with our class on typing for an entire week. The Georgia Milestones will be administered online this year and we really want the students to go into this test feeling confident in their typing skills. Please mark your calendars for this typing practice next week (March 4th - 8th). Students can arrive anytime after 7:15 but no later than 7:30 to visit the Tech Lab and practice typing with Mrs. Pascual. Please make every effort to get your child to school early next week. Thank you in advance!
