Bridges and Islands

After a day of two hour-long reading tests yesterday, today we had a ton of hands on activities.  In math, we played the first of many great math games.  Then in science, students worked to build model bridges out of coffee stirs and then Popsicle sticks. 

One of the strongest bridges was the ones built by Ava, Kaileb, and Karthik's group.

But the absolute strongest bridge was the one by Devyn, Michael, Nadelyn, and Kayla's group.  It was so strong it could hold 6 HARDCOVER DICTIONARIES!  Now that's a strong bridge!   

In Social Studies, we painted the islands we made yesterday.
