Raft Day was a Success!
The students were so excited Monday morning to have the supplies to build their own raft. This was an amazing confidence building experience for the students. I kept hearing things like,
'I can't believe I am making my own raft!'
'I did this all by myself!'
'It looks just like my drawing!'
'I've never done anything this much by myself!'
They created their own plan or blueprint, brought in their own supplies and they stuck to their plans. Their rafts looked very much like their drawing!
The test area...
Everyone had a chance to test their raft on it's own and carrying a load of 4 nickels.
Some rafts floated and some were 'sinkers'. Their mark will not be based on weather it floated or sank but on their ability to explain why it happened.
Thanks for sending in supplies with your child!!!!
