Bonnie Cabbage Plant Program

I just wanted to share some of our gardeners from 3rd grade who participated in the cabbage program!  Talk about kids with green thumbs!  WAY TO GO! I love doing this project each year and it so wonderful to be partnered with Bonnie Plants.  We will submit our pictures and the weights of each cabbage and wait until December to see if any of our students will win the $1000 scholarship.








Under Construction

We are learning a lot about materials, design, and tools as we construct our structures each week.  This week we are exploring bridges through four materials; Legos, Ello, Tinker Toys, and wooden blocks.  It was interesting for the students to realize that you can't always build what you design. It was exciting to watch them build with new materials and with Legos that they have a lot of experience with already. A wide variety of problems came up during construction and as a team they had to solve those problems. Below are some pictures from all classes using the four different materials.
