Pilgrim Cat by Carol Antoinette Peacock From the Publisher: A young pilgrim girl and the cat she discovers on the Mayflower voyage begin their life together in the Plymouth settlement. Where to find Pilgrim Cat: Copies can be checked out from our PCE Library. Can be purchased from Amazon.com and other booksellers. Read aloud videos can be found at YouTube.com and TeacherTube.com. Happy reading! STEAM Design Challenge of the MonthThe purpose of this month's challenge is to design a boat that floats in water like the Mayflower. For this challenge, you can use whatever materials you have around the house. Gather supplies from the recycling bin. Items like foam trays, plastic cups, styrofoam, and milk cartons can all be used. Glue, scissors, string, straws, or tape are also allowed. The only requirement is the "boat" must float independently for at least one minute. Have a small tub of water ready to test your designs. After finishing the challenge, make sure to take a picture or video of your boat floating and/or bring in your boat to the library by the end of November. Students that participate in this challenge and bring in their design or a picture will get to choose a poster or small paperback book as a prize. Good luck, Falcons!We hope all of our Falcons will choose to participate in these STEAM challenges, which incorporate
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math, and provide our Falcon families a chance to spend quality time as they learn and have fun together! Please understand these monthly Challenges are optional, though we hope you can try at least one of our Challenges this school year! Be sure to watch for next month's STEAM Challenge!
