Our First Week Together

Wow! What a great first week of school! I can already tell we are in for a really fun time together. This week we tried a couple of different group activities.

The first one was "Save Fred"... students had to save Fred (a gummy worm) from his capsized boat by putting his life jacket on him. The one problem... they couldn't touch anything with their hands, only the four paper clips provided. Students really had a fun time trying to maneuver Fred into his life jacket.

Then today we participated in the Marshmallow Challenge! Each group was given 20 pieces of dry spaghetti, 1 yard of tape, 1 yard of string, and 1 marshmallow. The problem... make the tallest freestanding structure that can support the weight of 1 marshmallow at the top. Only 2 groups were able to keep their structure standing, with the tallest one being 20 inches!

Can't wait to see what we have going on the rest of the school year!
