Below is a copy of the handout letter sent home on Tuesday, March 2.
Hello, Room 8 Families!
I am sending home a letter today to let you know about an at-home project that I would like your student to work on. For our current Science unit, we have been working on building and testing materials and designs. For our at-home project, I would like your student to design and build a playground. The playground needs to have at least 3 features (i.e. swings, a slide, monkey bars, etc.). At least 2 of the features have to be accessible for children who have mobility difficulties (i.e. they have to use a wheelchair or crutches to get around). We want to make sure our playground is inclusive and accessible for everyone as we do not want anyone to feel left out. Please check the blog for pictures, examples and ideas.
I do not want the playgrounds to be larger than our school desks, as some students will have to bring their projects to school on the bus. Please use items found at your house, there is no need to purchase anything. Supplies you can use include but are not limited to: straws, pipe cleaners, paper, tinfoil, egg cartons, or cardboard. Playground models will be due to school on Wednesday, April 7, 2021. Please do not send them before April 4, 2021.
If you have any questions, please let me know!
Sincerely,
Miss. Shevchuk
