The students wrote one compliment for each student in the class. They will remain
a secret until Valentine's Day on Tuesday. The bags will be decorated with the
compliments and then used to collect their valentine cards.
They were very thoughtful about the compliments they
wrote for each of their friends and they are so excited to
read their own compliment bags.
Our other Valentine's Day activity was a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Challenge.
Their only direction was they needed to move their 'critter' from point A to point B along the string.
The rest was up to them!
They dove right in and made some amazing 'Critter Carriers'.
Thank you to everyone who sent in supplies for this "Big Event!"
They organized themselves into groups...
...some students wanted to make their own 'critter carrier'...
Everyone had a chance to 'test' their critter carrier on the zip-line and make adjustments if needed.
They discovered:
* their carrier would tip over if it wasn't 'balanced' on the zip-line
*if they attached their carrier to the zip-line with something sticky it wouldn't slide down
*some materials are stronger or more stable than others
*their critter would slide out if the side walls weren't high enough
These were just a few of their discoveries!!
