Week of March 14th

Hello,

This week in projects the students will begin building and testing their parachute prototypes. On Monday, the groups identified the constraints by exploring the materials available that were found in their team bag. Students then began to sketch ideas individually and will meet with their groups today to begin the process of building and testing their prototypes. On Thursday, the groups will share their findings with the rest of the class.

On Wednesday, we will have a special guest. Southwest Airlines Pilot Lee Armine will be with us for the Adopt-a-Pilot program. He will be giving his first lesson in the program to both 4th grade classes. Ms. Williams and I are both very excited for the opportunity and are sure the students will learn a lot!

Conferences are this Friday (March 18th). Mrs. Neal sent out a sign up last week for parents to signup. Please check your email to schedule a time to meet with us.

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Zimmerman
