We enjoyed our Steam Day on Monday to make the Great Giving Challenge and to promote school-wide collaboration! We paired up with 4th grade and watched the video from the book, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind .
Each multi-age group brainstormed ideas and choose one idea as a group.design to engineer useful gifts for others using recyclables. On December 9, each group will produce 30 or more of their chosen design (at least 1 per student) for our Trevvett Giving Market. On December 19, we will hold the market. Each student will have the opportunity to choose a handmade gift for someone special!

Nov. 26 -KINDERGARTEN THANKSGIVING FEAST-1:00 all kindergarten classes will head down to the café for a “Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast”. In celebration of this holiday, students will be doing a fun STEAM activity and building their own Thanksgiving table with friends, and tasting different foods to represent the First Thanksgiving (popcorn, animal crackers, goldfish, fruit-juice drink). We invite you to come to the café to watch students enjoy this fun event. Also, we will need MANY parent volunteers/donations to make this as fun and smooth as possible. We would greatly appreciate any food donations or volunteers to help this activity (set-up/clean-up and helping with STEAM). We ask that you sign up online using the following link:
