Today we started inquirying into The Design Process, with help from the story "The Most Magnificent Thing" written by Ashley Spires. The story is about a little girl who sets out to make The Most Magnificent Thing for her pet dog. She goes through steps such as brainstorming, evaluating, designing, testing, and feedback to create a final design. We are going to engage in a similar design challenge as we set out to make The Most Magnificent Thing for a student in Room 7. Tomorrow we will begin with the Discovery & Empathy step as we interview our partner to determine their likes, dislikes, needs and wants. Students are asked to start an Engineer's Treasure Collection by filling a shoebox with a variety of loose part materials. Please have the shoebox to the school by Monday, December 2nd. Students can always add more materials to their shoeboxes as time passes. Tonight you will find that your child came home with a list that they generated at school of possible items for their Engineer's Treasure Collection box. See below for some additional ideas!
Have a nice evening,
Mrs. Morden
