Today Bricks 4 Kidz visited our classroom! The program perfectly complimented our Science Unit: Building Things!
Using Lego bricks, we deepened our understanding of building. Lots of teamwork, perseverance, problem solving, and communication got the job done! We constructed a windmill and a car ... and they were both motorized!
What an engaging and exciting morning!
Our Building with Fairy Tales continues! Last week we experimented with different materials while building houses for the 3 pigs, and this week our challenge was focused around Goldilocks and the 3 Bears!
Our task was to create a chair for baby bear! The criteria? The chair must have 4 legs and a bear figurine must fit in it.
Using popsicle sticks, plasticine, and card stock, students set out to make a chair fit for a bear! Lots of planning, teamwork, discussion, and problem solving went into our creations!
Success! We met our criteria and made some amazing, functional chairs!
