The Global Cardboard Challenge

Hello Parents and Guardians,
We have signed up to participate in the Global Cardboard Challenge. I've included links to the website and other important information below.
The event has been planned by the Imagination Foundation, and to learn more about what we're doing, please use this link to visit their website:
Imagination Foundation
Starting Monday, our class will start planning and building cardboard creations. A list of possible building supplies can be found here:
Supply List
If you have any of these supplies, please send them to school with your child on Monday.
If you'd like to attend the event, please sign up at:

As well, below are two videos that were shown to the class today. They do a great job of explaining what led to this event, and why people around the world are joining it.






Another thing that students may want to look at over the weekend are Rube Goldberg Silly Machines. They can find cartoons and videos of these creations, and maybe even some inspiration.

Have a great weekend everyone!
