Today we did an experiment testing many different types of play dough and clay.  We wanted to see what properties we think our play dough should have.

Playdough STEM Kick Off

Today 2nd grade had a visit from Mrs. Marshall our PPCD teacher here at Cannon. She told us how important playdough is in her classroom.  She asked us to help her develop a high quality playdough for her class.  We will have to use chemical engineering and our knowledge of matter to help us achieve this task.

Celebrate National Walk to School Day with your child this week by walking to school on Wednesday.  Either walk to school with your family and neighbors or join one of our school waling groups!  We will have two large groups that will meet to walk together.  One group will meet at the parking lot of the First United Methodist Church, on the corner of Church St. & College St.  The other group will meet at the corner of Dogwood Dr. and College St.  Both groups will have staff members walking with students.  They will meet between 7:00-7:15 and will begin walking to school at 7:15.  Hope you can join us!
