Western Theme

Every school year, our KR Lower School chooses a theme. For the 2020-2021 school year, we selected a western theme-Blazing New Trails. I constructed cardboard cacti using the attachment methods that I taught my engineers last year. Click here to see that post. I used the slot and L-brace techniques. Painting and adding flowers will be next.

Solar Energy

I teach third grade scientists about solar energy as an alternative energy source. I hung solar lamps over my deck this summer and I look forward to them glowing each evening. The intricate patterns on the globes create beautiful light patterns.
