Mrs. Hall's Holiday Challenges

Mrs. Hall's class has had a great time this week with some fun engineering and writing challenges. Take a look at some of our work:

We worked with a team to see who could build the tallest decorated tree using 30 cups.

Mrs. Vorachard helped us use Lego WeDo Robotics to create a scene where Santa and his reindeer traveled around and around.

We wrote procedural text about how to decorate a Christmas tree and gave our writing to a buddy who followed our written instructions.  We learned that using precise language is important!

We engineered a parachute with a basket that would hold Santa and get him safely to the ground after his sleigh broke down.  Our new school is a great location to really test out our parachutes!

We will finish out the week with a read aloud from Mrs. Blizzard on Thursday and our annual holiday sing-along and party on Friday.  It has been a fun week!
