4th grade is electric!

We have been learning about circuits, and how they are used in everyday life. Our scholars had to draw a schematic diagram for an intricate circuit system with a switch that would close the circuit once a certain task was accomplished. After they drew the diagram, they had to give it to a group of "Contractors" who, then, had to put the circuit together using only the drawing. We had many exciting and en"light"ening conversations as we drew and constructed our circuits!

Soles 4 Souls

Cannon has been collecting shoes for the Soles 4 Souls organization. We have more than DOUBLED our original goal of 350 pairs of shoes! WOW!! As a part of this effort, 3rd graders designed a shoe using geometric shapes. Each team could use only one shape - triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons or hexagons. Look at some of our great creations!!
