Hi Friends!Today was our last day of celebrating Fall Children's Book Week. I hope all of you have enjoyed it as much as we have! Thank you so much to Executive Director Mr. Ian for reading The Monster at the End of this Book by Jon Stone and illustrated by Michael Smollin. This is one of Mr. Ian's favorite books and he did such a great job reading it! Today's activity is bookmarks!To wrap up Fall Children's Book Week we have some bookmarks to color! This is what they look like and you can download a printable copy here.  Happy Coloring Everyone! I will see you next month!
Ms. Marissa Hi Friends!I hope you enjoyed Cuddly Dudley by Jez Alborough. Thank you, Ms. Dru for reading it to us! Today's Activity is Waterproof PenguinsDid you know that penguins have an oil-producing gland that help make their feathers waxy? The wax on their feathers repels the cold water and helps keep the penguins dry. The instructions for today's activities are down below or you can download them here:  Have fun with your penguin!

| Materials Needed:
|  Tub of Water |  My 3 surfboard materials: a paper plate, aluminum foil, and foam |
| First I drew a surfboard onto the piece of paper and cut it out. This became my pattern for all of the other surfboards I made. |  |
| Second I cut out surfboards from the 3 materials that I chose. Left to Right: Aluminum Foil, Paper Plate, Foam |  |
Third I put the surfboards in my tub of water and put pennies on them one by one until they sunk to the bottom. Which material do you think held the most pennies?
Results:
 The surfboard made out of a paper plate sunk when it had 4 pennies on it. |  The surfboard made out of aluminum foil also sunk when it had 4 pennies on it. |  The surfboard made out of foam sunk when it had 8 pennies on it. This makes it twice as strong as the other surfboards. |
Try it at home!
Try this fun STEM challenge at home and tell me what materials you used and how many pennies your surfboards held up!
Have fun!
Ms. Marissa
Have fun!
