Hi Families!<\/p>\n

This week we are learning all about STEAM! STEAM stands for\u00a0S<\/strong>cience,\u00a0T<\/strong>echnology,\u00a0E<\/strong>ngineering,\u00a0A<\/strong>rts, and M<\/strong>ath!<\/p>\n

I was inspired by the students’ amazing recycled material creations, as well as so many of them showing me their Lego during our class meetings. We have some talented builders in Div. 27, and I’m excited to see what fun things you can explore and create this week.<\/p>\n

Here is a picture of something that my daughter created out of recycled materials! She made a cafe for her Playmobil characters – thank you, Div. 27, for the great inspiration.<\/p>\n

Create!<\/strong><\/p>\n

So many of our friends love building with Lego at home and at school!<\/p>\n

Watch this Lego Bridge Building Challenge! https:\/\/youtu.be\/jAOtP4KjOYc<\/a><\/p>\n

Can you use Lego to build a bridge to go over a river?<\/p>\n

Can your bridge help a character go across the river?<\/p>\n

Can a boat still go under the bridge?<\/p>\n

No Lego? No problem! Use any building materials that you have around your home! Even nature items will do \u2013 sticks and rocks make great bridges!<\/p>\n

Move!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having trouble making your Lego bridge stay up? Can\u2019t quite figure out how to tie your shoe? Accidentally making some of your letters backwards?<\/p>\n

So many things we can\u2019t do\u2026 yet! \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

Instead of getting frustrated, take a break, get moving, and try again!<\/p>\n

Check out The Power of Yet<\/em> song: https:\/\/youtu.be\/XLeUvZvuvAs<\/a><\/p>\n

Read and Build!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Read Down Here<\/em> on Epic! It\u2019s a book about a child who plays make believe games and builds an amazing fort. Can you build a fort in your home? You can use pillows, blankets, chairs, and other household items!<\/p>\n

Watch and Explore!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore forces of motion \u2013 pushes and pulls!<\/p>\n

What kinds of pushes and pulls can you find in your home and around your neighbourhood?<\/p>\n

Go on a Forces of Motion hunt in your home and\/or neighbourhood! Find:<\/p>\n
