Dear STEAM Parents,
I called and spoke with many parents on Monday to communicate with them regarding their children’s online learning progress. I left voicemail messages when possible, but unfortunately some phone numbers are not in service, not accepting calls or have voice mailboxes that are full. Please email me if you have any questions about your child’s online learning experience at any time.
Students should be working on their prototype project at home this week. Parents, please DO NOT need go out and buy anything for your children to make their prototypes at home! Also, please DO NOT allow your children to leave the house to go to a friend’s house to work on this project. I have repeatedly emphasized this with all of my students. It is important that you and your families are safe and at home during this pandemic!! This project no longer involves partner work, even if students worked with a partner prior to schools closing. Every student must submit an image of their individual prototype. Students should be creative and use things they might have at home (cardboard, cereal boxes, tissue boxes, paper towel tubes, aluminum foil, construction or computer paper, containers, bottle caps, etc.). The prototypes do not have to be working or perfect! If a student absolutely cannot find anything at home to use for the prototype, they must draw a VERY DETAILED and COLORFUL sketch of their prototype (parts are distinguishable, labeled, etc.). Please take pictures of your completed prototypes and email them to me with a description of the problem that your prototype addresses! I will share some of the prototype images on my iBlog.
Prototype images must be emailed to me by Monday. Please let me know if you have any questions. During the day, I typically respond within an hour or two at most! I am here to support you!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Saleh
