This week we read Jamie O' Rourke books by Tomie de Paola. Today we had an engineering challenge that tied in with the books. They had to build a bridge for a leprechaun out of only 70 pennies.

Student Showcase
We have busy working on creating animal habitats that will meet the needs of the animals we researched. Once we finish our habitats we are creating digital presentations for our parents to teach them about special characteristics our animals have that help them meet their needs in their habitats. We can't wait to show our projects off at the Student Showcase Thursday night.
