Mrs. Waller's first grade class have been learning about the engineering process. They were asked the question of if you had an itchy back, how could you fix it? They then imagined ways to solve the problem (a back scratcher) and planned how they wanted to make it. They then were given a bag of supplies to use and were allowed to create a back scratcher. Once everyone was done, they were tested and determined ways they could be improved.
Our Bookstore will open starting Monday, September 18th.
