Today Mrs. Schauble set up a STEM challenge based on the well known song ‘5 Little Pumpkins’ sitting on a gate. Student teams had to design a plan on how to build a gate that would hold up a pumpkin using only toilet paper rolls, clothespins and tongue depressors. Future engineers at work!

Yesterday we discussed the works of Pablo Picasso and looked at some of his paintings. We noticed that he did not paint realistic portraits and was an artist who expressed himself through cubism, a style of painting that involves geometric shapes. With Halloween approaching, we made Frankensteins in the style of Pablo Picasso.
Today we talked about the amazing features of an owl's body. For example, clear eyelids to protect eyes, hollow bones and silent wings designed for flight, and hooked beak and sharp talons for catching prey. We looked at a wing, skull and leg from a red tailed hawk to discuss the similarities and differences of the two raptors.
Creativity at its best! All turkeys survived Thanksgiving weekend!
