Challenging our learning

This week, we set up some building challenges. Often we offered an incentive such as sticker or tattoo if students were able to successfully complete the challenge. Some students had to build a “haunted house” to hide a Halloween character.

Some students had to build a gear machine to make a Halloween character spin around.

After reading a book about 5 little pumpkins, some students had to build a gate that would be strong enough to hold 5 pumpkins.

Watching our students navigate the building process allows us to see how they problem solve.
