In honor of our building study, we welcomed a special guest today! One of our parents visited to talk about his job as a welder. The students asked great questions and learned about welding tools, safety, and the structures he helps create. We loved learning how welders help build our community and the world!

Today, Mrs. Johnson’s class took on a fun prediction challenge as part of our Building Study! Each student voted on which material they thought would create the tallest building, then put their ideas to the test by constructing their own designs. The red cups came out on top! Students exercised their brains by experimenting with different strategies to build strong foundations and tall towers. It was such a fun and engaging learning experience!
