We got down and dirty today as we built our gingerbread houses! One of the first challenges the students had was to try and create a house out of graham crackers. It was fun to watch as they 'failed forward' and learned after each attempt. Once they had their plans solidified, they went to glueing their homes together using icing. It was an experience they will not soon be forgetting! Pictures will be up tomorrow.
Students also scratched up a bunch of minerals using their fingernails, pennies, and nails to determine the minerals' hardness and to compare and sort them. They then used a field guide to try and identify the minerals.
Please be aware that tomorrow in the afternoon the students will be watching the Winter Concert from 1:30 onwards.
Have a great evening!
