2nd and 3rd Grade Homework
I will be sponsoring a bat for our classes to follow throughout the year. For homework this week (9/21 and 9/26), I asked the students to visit the website www.batworld.org and just look around. They can read about myths and facts, what to do if you find a bat, or bat problems. I can't wait to hear about what they learned next week!

Bridge Challenge---OPTIONAL, not required
Today we learned about forces on bridge structures and how different shapes of bridges can hold different weight. Your bridge challenge for the week is to find a real life bridge that collapsed and analyze the forces that caused the bridge to collapse. Did the shape have anything to do with the collapse? You can bring in the article or just share the information. Who is up to the challenge?
