This week in reading we have been talking about building structures like boats, houses, and bridges. The students paired up today to compare their ideas about how to build a bridge. Then with limited supplies and time they worked together to build a bridge. Their bridges were tested to see if a car could make it from one side to the other with just a push. I was very impressed with how well they worked together and how many adjustments they made after many trials and errors. There are a couple of other events that I wanted to make you aware of next week. Mrs. Myogeto has a student who completed a 9 week Genius Hour project on how to help Anna Marie's House. She researched the program, why women and children go there and how we can help them. She reached out to them and found out they are in need of the following items: pillow cases, baby bottles, lotion, wash towels, nail polish, robes, diapers, toiletries (deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste) , hair brushes, and detergent. She created a box and will set it outside of her classroom door if anyone is able to donate.
