I was so proud of the kids who chose to run in the election! Awesome campaigns!
The kids are enjoying meeting with their book clubs. They decide how much they are going to read, go off to their cozy spots to read, then meet back later to discuss their books.
The kids were divided into groups and given a challenge/problem to solve. The challenges all dealt with a seed needing modifications so it could be dispersed from the parent plant. The seeds had to float, stick to an animal, glide in the wind, be propelled, or look attractive to animals. The kids were given a bag of materials to use. They did a great job of coming up with innovative solutions. Of course, in the end, engineers can always find ways to improve their design so our class helped each group brainstorm ways to make their products even better!
