New Perch for Harry!
We built perches for the puff ball Harry. Students were given materials and were asked to plan, create, and evaluate their design.
We Saved Fred!
His boat capsized and he was stuck on top without his life preserver. Students had to use only paperclips to fix his problem!
Cup Towers
Building a cup tower may be easy but not while using the rubber band tool. We had to work together in order to stack the cups.
Team Building
We know how there is strength in numbers, right? The first two weeks of school we worked on activities that helped us work together as a team. We did things like building a perch for a puff ball named Harry when given random materials, saving a gummy worm named Fred who needed help getting into his life preserver (a gummy life saver), and built cup towers using a rubber band tool that forced us to work together. Although we each have differences, we are practicing communicating with each other, sharing ideas, and working together. We know we can be a successful team this year!
Friendship Pie
After reading Enemy Pie by Derek Munson we discussed what characteristics need to go into a good friendship. Students created their own recipes for Friendship Pie and we displayed them in the room to remind us to be kind and caring friends and classmates.
