Leprechaun Traps are officially under construction in the Library!! They will be constructed out of 1 empty tissue box, 12" of string. 12" masking tape, the bottom 1/3 of a water bottle, 1 cotton ball, and 1 piece of construction paper and a whole lot of imagination. From what I can see, the 3 Leprachauns in Watchung School should be worried. Once construction is complete the Leprechaun Traps will be stratigically placed around the school. fingers Crossed!!
Our first graders created a "Monster Toy" using only a paper towel tube, 12" of string, 1 pipe cleaner, 2 cotton balls, 2 circle stickers, and a drinking straw. They were all VERY UNIQUE with their ideas.
Our 2nd graders are engaged in an 8 week STEAM Challenge. They are creating parade floats out of 3 cardboard boxes with their table groups. Critical-Thinking and Problem-Solving strategies are being emphasized.
Our Literacy-based STEAM Challenges will occur at least once each marking period.
They are designed to develop and enhance our Watchung Whales' Critical Thinking and Problem Solving strategies.
