Dear Families,

Our team is hosting a very exciting event on Friday, October 7th.

The Global Cardboard Challenge

Inspired by the short film, ‘Caine’s Arcade,’ the Global Cardboard Challenge is an annual event presented by the Imagination Foundation that celebrates child creativity and the role communities can play in fostering it.

Go to…

http://cardboardchallenge.com/about/

for more information on Caine’s Arcade.

 

In class next week students will be going through the engineering design process and will be designing their very own arcade games.  On Friday students will turn their ideas into actual games.

Students are studying Newton’s Laws of motion, forces, gravity, potential energy and kinetic energy. While working on their games students will be incorporating what they have learned about forces and motion into their games.  

The Global Challenge will be an awesome event that allows your child to take an idea and turn it into reality!

Thank you for your help!

 

Ms. Gagliano & Mrs. Talaia
