engineers week

Aiden's class celebrated National Engineering Week with two cool team challenges.  The first was to take 50 bendy straws, pipe cleaners, and paper clips and make the tallest tower that could hold up a golf ball.  The second was to make a bridge out of cardboard tubes and popsicle sticks that could hold '21 elephants' (really plastic bears, but they were playing off the book).  They worked in teams to plan ahead of both challenges and it sounded like everyone worked very well together.  They also have enjoyed having their class book club in the patio garden during these beautiful days.  Aiden also belongs to the Chat n Chew book club over lunch, and I'm glad he has all these opportunities.
