Mrs. Barker's Grade Three Class

Hello Families! “Blogging” is a school wide project that is being taken on by the teachers at MMH school. We will cut down on the amount of paper that travels home with this cool, creative and interactive technology tool! There are links to great learning websites on the subject pages for your child. If at any time you have any suggestions of what you’d like to see on the blog, please let me know and we’ll see if we can make that happen! Here is my email address: corrina.barker@lethsd.ab.ca

We will be building SUGAR CUBE CASTLES starting on Monday, FEBRUARY 6 for our building unit in science.

For Monday, February 6th your child will need to bring in:
1) A piece of STRONG cardboard that measures 11 inches by 13 inches. Cereal boxes work well for this.
2) One or two boxes of sugar cubes (one is required for sure, but some kids like two boxes to make the walls of the castle taller).

3) A bottle of GOOD QUALITY white glue (there is tacky glue at Michaels in a gold colored bottle that works great – I can’t remember the exact name of it). A good glue is the most important for this project being successful so any good white glue will work.

Your child can bring in the materials anytime between now and February 6th.

This is a super fun activity for the kids. You will be amazed at the masterpiece castles they create out of sugar cubes.
