Let me begin by saying...... 6 MORE DAYS until Christmas Break! Hallelujah! I know everyone is counting down the days just like I am :)
Yesterday I had a wonderful opportunity to allow a parent to come and teach a science lesson.
She got to come and work with my students and try out a science lesson that will correlate with the new CCSS Science standards. She made the ALCO: Motion and Stability standard a joy to learn. We had such a wonderful time designing a house for the Gingerbread Baby. In the story The Gingerbread Baby, Matti is trying to capture the gingerbread baby that has escaped from the oven.
Here was the challenge:
Matti needs help designing a secure house that will hold the gingerbread baby inside and prevent him from escaping again. Your design must hold the gingerbread baby INSIDE. You can only use the materials given inside the bag. Draw a plan with your partner, create it and test it.
As you can see from the pictures this lesson was a hit! Thank you so much, Holly. We really enjoyed your lesson.
