Investigating Technology

Yesterday, we started a new unit all about Technology and simple machines. We learned that technology is all around us! Something as simple as a pencil is technology, because it was invented to solve a problem.  We watched a video about Alexander Graham Bell, and how he used technology to solve a problem he had. He wanted people who were very far away from him to be able to hear his voice, so he created the telephone!

We went on a tour around our classroom trying to find pieces of technology, and then wrote about the problem that may have caused a scientist to invent those things. 

Haley even noticed that she can hold technology in her hands! 

Look around your house and see if you can find technology in unlikely places. 

Many of you have requested a class list for valentines day. Here it is: 

We will spend a short amount of time on Friday decorating bags for valentines before the party.  If your child would like to decorate a box at home, that is absolutely fine.  Students are also welcome to bring in additional decorations for their valentines bag if they choose to.
