Let's celebrate our love of energy by making an energy wreath! Please send one item that represents some sort of energy. Hearing this from YOU will be new information for your child - a chance for you to ask them about what they are learning in GT. (I slipped and asked one class to bring trash. Please note that this is a change of plans if your child is confused.) This should be something you can part with permanently, and it should be able to be tied in some way to the grapevine wreath pictured above. Students should be prepared to explain what kind of energy their items represent and why, as well as whether they are renewable or non-renewable.
Thank you so much for your support of our upcoming projects! We have received or are expecting everything we need to conduct some awesome energy experiments! (Get it? Conduct! Ha ha ha. Pun was intended!) Next week, we'll investigate solar energy by looking at how energy is transferred and absorbed. It should really heat up our curiosity!
Okay... I'll stop before I hurt anyone with the corny jokes. Have a wonderful weekend!
