We shared with the children that since we only had a few more days of school left anyway, we would be starting spring break a little early so we can stay healthy in the coziness of our homes. The children are very excited to have extra time with families. Take care and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Rube Goldberg Much?
Children can construct, invent and engineer while learning about cause and effect. Maybe you will end up with a breakfast machine that will speed up your morning routines for the rest of your days.
