Electronic Parts

The kids had a fun time creating circuits today. They came home with some parts that were given by a family in our class. The kids were instructed to show you the parts and make sure they built along with you if you choose. They do not have the batteries to make any of it work. The directions are in a PowerPoint and will be posted on Edmodo. 

So much fun (and learning) happening!
