My Project

What can I say about my kids? They are a bunch of happy-go-lucky kids. You would never know that they are fighting every day to stay afloat with home and school and society as a whole. The majority of my students receive free or reduced-price lunches. Each day we have to fight the demands of a child not having enough food or heat and especially, clean water to drink. The one thing I don't want my kids to worry about is school and the supplies that are needed for a lesson. The kraft sticks are used in the lesson on bridge building a part of the engineering process. The glue will be used to glue the sticks together

This assignment gives students a hand on approach to how the occupation of engineering really works.
