Today we did a STEM project where the class had to attempt to rebuild the Mayflower. Their goal was to build a ship that would float, and also carry the most passengers. We had great success! ALL of our boats floated, all held passengers, and 3 of them held 102 passengers- just like on the Mayflower!
Today, we held a mock election for Windham Primary School. We had over 330 voters come through our polls! Here are our results: 3% of the voters voted for a “write-in” candidate. 4% of the voters voted for Jill Stein. 10% of the voters voted for Gary Johnson. 38% of the voters voted for Donald Trump. And the winner, with 45% of the votes, was Hillary Clinton. The class worked hard checking voters in, running the polls, manning the ballot boxes, and thanking/ stickering the voters! Success!
We love hearing stories from our family members and the community!! Today Mr. Patin (Camden's Dad) came over. He told us an amazing story of a time him and his father got lost in Alaska! We heard about being on the lookout for bears, dreaming of bacon, and having the courage and strength to KEEP GOING! Ask your child to hear more about this story!
What a fun afternoon we had! To start, Mrs. Sparks (Delia's grandmother) came in and lead the class in creating adorable, unique pumpkin-owls! The kids worked hard on their listening and making each of their owls different and creative! They came out wonderfully, and we really appreciate all the thought and time Mrs. Sparks put into this project!
Then, her husband, Mr. Sparks, met us outside on the playground. Someone had called Mr. Sparks (Sparks' Arc) because there was a Barred Owl who had been hit by a car this morning. After looking over the owl carefully, Mr. Sparks decided the owl was OK to be released to the wild. Which was so great was that he brought the owl right to our school so we could watch him release it!! Mr. Sparks, while holding the beautiful owl, told the kids about owls and then we got to watch him fly away! Thank you so much to Mr. and Mrs. Sparks for making today so wonderful!! Walter Lunt from the Windham Historical Society has done it again. He took our class, along with Mr. Miller's class, on an educational and interesting tour of our town! We learned a lot, got to explore, and even heard a couple ghost stories!!
