And last week....
After experimenting with different materials (e.g., plastic, wood, paper), students made a sketch of a piece of playground equipment they wanted to build using recyclable materials. The playground equipment was to be built for a toy figure or mini stuffed animal. Here are some snapshots:

On Thursday, we made predictions as to whether the new Wiarton Willie would see his shadow. Most of the students predicted YES and were correct! Sadly, Ms. Cassidy and Ms. Damiano's hopes of an early Spring did not come true. After learning about a groundhog's burrow, students sketched a burrow and had to measure how long it was using one of the materials set out for them to choose from (e.g., cubes, rings, links). They had to prove their thinking by correctly measuring the length of their burrow.
