We are pleased to be able to participate in a program provided by High Touch High Tech of Greater Atlanta. High Touch High Tech delivers 90 minute, in-school science hands on experience that transform your classroom into a Living Laboratory! Kids become a scientist and learn by doing the actual experiments. These programs are totally hands-on.
The program that our students will be involved in is called Finally Fun Machines
Finally Fun Machines A hands-on and FUN program on machines. Meet the Facilitator, our cool multi-personality compound machine. Engage in pulley power, lifting levers, and incline plane antics as we build one big machine with all six simple ones. Become "energized" as we "work" through potential and kinetic energy.
High Touch High Tech provides all equipment and materials in this supply intensive educational experience. Students receive science certificates and many programs provide take home experiments. Each student is required to pay $8.00 to participate.
Permission slip and money is due no later Friday, November 18, 2011.

Our class is creating a meal box for a Blackwell family in need. Last week I sent home a list of suggested items to donate. We have received a few items so far, but are in great need of more donations. If you are willing and able to donate that would be great! I'd really like to make this a "special box" from our class.
So far I've received: 2 pie crusts, Pumkin Pie mix, Evaporated Milk, 2 boxes of Mac & Cheese, paper plates, and 1 box of cereal.
If you would like to donate any of the items on the list (see list below) or have other items such as grocerey story gift cards, canned goods, snacks, etc. that you would like to donate, please send them in. Thank you so much for your generousity and supporting our Blackwell families that are struggling more than you can imagine.
PLEASE send in items no later than Wed., Nov. 16th so we have time to deliver the box. Thanks! :-)
Please remember that there is NO SCHOOL on Tuesday, November 8th. It is Election Day & Professional Development Day for Teachers. Enjoy the time with your family!
