Barbara Misday the K-4 Science/STEM specialist shared the following:
Third graders completed their research for extreme weather case studies in small groups. Each group designed a solution to at least one problem that extreme weather brings to the world. As a culminating activity, the entire class focused on the extreme weather and impact of hurricanes. They were charged with the following task:
“You are an engineer that has been given the responsibility to design a hurricane proof building.”
On Nov. 30, Hurricane Barbara hit land at approximately 12:50 in the Markell Hall basement. Students had one minute to test their building design in a simulated “hurricane” including fans (air/wind), water (ocean) and spray bottles (rain/sleet). At the end of the simulation all of the groups checked their buildings to see if their Lego Character survived (was dry and safe) and if their design repelled the extreme weather. Next week, each group will evaluate their design/building and determine what worked well and what changes they would make in the future.

At our all school Thanksgiving chapel this morning, we shared that gratitude is something that is powerful. God uses it to bring peace. It can change people’s lives. It’s something that can help you get through a bad situation.
We can all picture someone who loves us, someone who accepts us just as we are. When we simply think about this person we can feel their love, and feel gratitude. Like that person, we too have the opportunity to show love to people, and to express our gratitude to them. So, how are you going to do it? What will you do specifically to show love this week? What will you do to express your gratitude? This is the challenge the students left with as they departed today's chapel, and we would like to invite you to consider these questions too!
