December STEM project

Happy Thanksgiving! One of the things I am grateful for this season is the opportunity I have to work with each and everyone of your children. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and enjoy some downtime with your child.

2nd Grade STEM Project- Toys fromTrash

Your second grader will be creating a toy or game from “trash” in STEM the week after Thanksgiving break.  Please help them gather supplies and send them back to school on December 2nd or 3rd.  Your student will create their toy during the week of December 2nd.

 No sharp edges, please!
No food, please!

 Thanks,

Quest Academy STEM Teachers
