Ms. Waugh's class is full of inventors! Students apply mathematical thinking as they design and build models of their own inventions using everyday materials—measuring lengths, estimating dimensions, recognizing patterns, and problem-solving to bring their ideas to life. After reading texts connected to the essential question, “How can inventions help the world around us?”, students identify real-world problems and create solutions through their designs. They use spatial reasoning and logical thinking to test and refine their models, and then communicate their ideas by writing opinion essays explaining why their invention is the best solution.

On Wednesday the kindergarteners at Perrine Elementary had an opportunity to witness some cool experiments for E day in our alphabet countdown. Mr. Franklin, from Canyon Ridge high school , did a variety of experiments that wowed the kindergarteners. He used static electricity to move a pop can and bottle and stick a balloon to the wall. He also did Elephant toothpaste that had the students cheering in delight and a few other experiments that had the students cheering. We ended with the student getting to participate in the experiments by giving groups tubes with baking soda and vinegar so they could feel what happened when they combined.

Thanks to Mr. Franklin for taking the time to amaze our students. Fun Fact: Mrs. Lierman (kinder teacher) was one of Mr. Franklin's former students.
