Above are some pictures of our teepee cover making session today. We celebrated lots of failures today and are looking forward to trying this again. We used newsprint buffalo hides and we are trying to figure out how to make a teepee cover. We have learned that it is hard to put what we plan into action. We are definitely having to really think about the shape. Lots of us ended up making a rectangular shape with our hides and when we put the ends together it turned into a cylinder rather than the cone we were hoping for. There is going to be more planning and building of prototypes in the future.
Christmas Tree Decorating
A group of parent volunteers have put up our Christmas tree in the Idea Lab. Now it's time to decorate. Students will be invited by grade to make crafts over the lunch hour in the Idea Lab.
Please note that this is optional for students who choose to participate. There will be reminders in the daily announcements.
Our tentative date to make a decoration is Tuesday, Dec. 6th.
Canstruction Club
Canstruction Club is looking for non-perishable donations to build our structure next Thursday. It is called the 'Green Cantern’ based on the superhero the Green Lantern. We’re collecting green items such as cans and boxes for this! Please drop off any items to the Idea Lab.
Thanks for your support with this. All items will be donated to the Calgary Food Bank after we build our structure. Wish us luck with our contest!

We have finished sharing our observations about liquids. Discuss with your family some of the observations you made and observations that others made that were interesting. What are some things you wonder about the liquids (besides what they are)? What are some things your family may wonder about? We will put up our wonders on the board next week.
