Wheelchair Foundation

During the next several weeks, Mohr School is is participating in a district-wide effort to support the Wheelchair Foundation. The 3 primary goals of the project are:

• raise awareness about the need for mobility in the world
• sensitize students to the issues faced by people with intellectual/developmental and physical disabilities
• raise money to provide wheelchairs for those in need

This year, our monetary goal at Mohr is to collect donations that represent $2.50 per student. That would be the equivalent of providing approximately 12 wheelchairs for people who are unable to afford one. For less than the price of a school lunch, students can change a life by giving the gift of hope and mobility.

Donations in any amount are welcome, and may be made in the form of cash, checks (to the “Wheelchair Foundation”), or online at http://del-corazon.org/to-donate-to-the-wheelchair-foundation/.

Thank you for supporting this worthy cause and wonderful lesson in compassion for our students!

Lawrence Livermore National Lab

We had a great time at our field trip to the Livermore Lab. They have a ton of hands on experiments for the class to try out. I've posted some photos and videos from the experiments. All the students commented on how much they enjoyed it.

Some questions to ask your students:

• What are good conductors of electricity?
• What are good insulators of electricity?
• How can you make a gas turn into a solid?
• How much energy did you create by using the bicycle?

DARE box

Every year for DARE, Officer Batoy offers a contest to the 4 classes. Decorate your DARE box any way your class wants... the class with the best design gets a donut party.

Our class was very enthused to try and win the contest. This group of kids worked really hard during recesses and lunches, after school and at home to create this cool box. While we don't know if we won yet, they are very proud of what they created.
