***Our webinar for October 30 was cancelled. It will be rescheduled for sometime in November, hopefully. We will keep you updated as we get new information.
***We have been having so much fun with some of projects that we have gotten a little behind schedule. For this reason, we will be moving the Parent Night to November 18th. We will be sending out invitations for this evening very soon!!!
On Monday the students were presented with a problem. Hampton the Hampster wanted to be as fast as Tillman the skateboarding dog. So Tillman asked the kids to build cars that Hampton could ride in to help him keep up with Tillman. The students were given a list of materials they could use and how much each item costs. They then had to come up with their design and purchase the materials at the store. Finally, they built Hampton's cars. 
Below are some pictures of the test runs completed by the groups cars.
Next week (November 4th) the students will get to make some last minute adjustments to their cars and then test them. We will then start to build a car that will hold an egg and be raced at parent night. For this project we are asking the students to bring in any type of "trash" that they would like to use to build the "egg car."
