4th Grade Mobile Fab Lab Visit

This project involved the students using the vinyl cutter to make decals for their service project. Before visiting with the Mobile Fab Lab, the children had to identify a community organization in need of help, then create a logo for print. The service projects were voted on by the staff and parents. Through this process, the children learned about vinyl cutting and what is negative space. In the next Fab Lab visit the 4th graders will continue cutting out of their decals and prepare to sell them.

ZERO WASTE CHALLENGE DAY

Thank you CIS parents and students for participating in the Zero Waste Challenge on Thursday, April 26th. We collected 90 + pounds of garbage produced during 4 lunch periods. That's less than half of what we typically produce during those lunch periods....but it's still a lot of trash! Let's make every day a Zero Waste Day, and continue to use reusable products to pack a healthy lunch!
