Hello, dear Parents!

The older friends have been studying simple machines over the past month. This week, they will think about a simple need they have (like turning the pages of a book or feeding the dog) and design a Rube Goldberg machine to help them meet that need.

Their homework assignment is identical to this classwork–except that we ask that children either draw a picture of their machine or that you send in a video of the real thing built and in operation at your house 🙂 The children watch these videos in afternoon circle.

Please access the following document for more details:

The due date for this assignment is Friday, November 18th. We are flexible, however, about when the projects are turned in!
