Father's Day Design Challenge
Wow! I love dual purpose projects! This project will result in each of your students (or children) making a very unique Father’s Day gift for someone special in their lives AND it will provide an opportunity to work through the Engineering Design Process while doing so. In addition, upcycling is a critical part of this project! Lots of winners here!

Engineering Design Notebook
Engineering in the classroom offers an engaging way for students to directly apply science, technology, math and art skills within a real world context. In my classroom, students use a design notebook as they engineer. Using a design notebook provides a place for students to develop their thinking and deepen the connections they are making. It also provides an avenue for communicating ideas to their teachers and peers. Use of a design notebook to document thinking can be very powerful in all

Teaching style
I can’t help but repeat the enlightened words of Confucius, “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” I am sure, as a teacher, you have heard those words more than once. However, despite the repeated use of such a sentiment, its wisdom is one that I revisit time and time again as I plan learning experiences for my students. I strive to provide multiple opportunities for students to “do”, whether that is through hands on play, or reading, writing and math workshops. While learning this way can be messy and unpredictable it almost always leads to deeper understanding.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Fritzi earned the Crystal Apple Award in 2004 and the Unsung Hero Award in a year or two before that. Shauna won the Washington State University Children's Book Award in 2003 for writing and illustrating a children's book.
