Remember simple machines? This week, we're learning a little bit about levers, screws, and wedges from Ms. Bryant-Hampton! Where do you see these simple machines in your house? Do they help make your life easier? Tell us all about it!
Thanks to our friends at the Children's Museum of Atlanta for sharing information about tomorrow's concert in celebration of Earth Day!

Today brings us a quick refresher on Simple Machines from one of our wonderful Whitefoord Early Learning Academy teachers! This is part of our Make It Move! unit.
A message from Ms. Bryant-Hampton: This week we are looking at three different simple machines: Inclined Plane, Wheel and Axle, and Pulley. Watch the video reviewing how these machines work. Can you find examples of simple machines at home? Maybe you can even *make* a simple machine at home with your family! Bonus question: do you think any of these simple machines would have helped the characters in A Little Bit More? (see below) Has your family already been counted in the census? The census helps drive funding to lots of important things, including many things that impact early learning! You can download a fun resource here to help your child learn more about early statistics and the census. (There are additional resources for PK -12 and beyond here.)
