Theresa did this week's lesson about sky scrapers. What a fun idea! First, she gave the kids some sky scraping vocabulary and rules of the sky scrappers.
Notice how none of the kids are sitting next to a sibling and that the boys and girls are segregated?
We pretended her door was a sky scraper and talked about everything it must have in order to considered a sky scraper.
Then, she passed out pictures of different buildings a we voted weither we thought it was a sky scraper or not.
Then, we built our own sky scrapers out of mega blocks. First, we discussed which would be the best base to start with.
Each team was giving a different base and then set to work building.
The babies even got involved in this activity.
And lastly, we tried building sky scrapers out of marshmellows and toothpicks. It's harder than it looks. Remember those strong triangles.
We might just have some engineers in this bunch.
