Building With a Variety of Materials


In Science, we are starting our unit “Building With a Variety of Materials”. Your child will be engaged in different projects that encourage exploring, testing and building. 

In order to maximize engagement and learning during Science lessons, we are encouraging your child to bring a variety of items in a bag labelled with their name.

All items must be clean.

Please do not send items before March 4.

Here’s a list of items your child might choose to bring:

  • Newspapers
  • Coffee cups/lids/styrofoam containers
  • Popsicle sticks/wooden skewers/tongue compressors/chopsticks
  • Cardboard (empty tissue boxes/paper towel rolls)
  • Plastic stir sticks/straws
  • Recycled plastic materials
  • String
  • Paper clips
  • Elastic Bands
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Wool/buttons/ribbons/accessories for decorating
