This was our field trip to the Pioneer Village.
They decided I needed some time in the slammer with Old Joe.
Our great Egg-Drop. My two science classes were given the task to see who could design the best contraption out of the given supplies of: a sandwich baggie, 6 cotton balls, paper lunch bag, 6 straws, a meter of tape, and a meter of yarn. They were assigned to small groups of four and given 45 minutes to design a contraption that would keep an egg safe during a 12 foot drop.
They collaborated mightily!
And designed and redesigned.
Who would save the egg?
Not Carley's team!
The team that was most unlikely to succeed!!!!! I love it when that happens!!!!!
And what a contraption it was!!!!
Wow! Not even a slight crack!
The crew!
It was a bitter-sweet day for most of us!
All of them have left me for the fifth grade...but this is definitely one crew that will stay in my heart forever!
Good luck to my little cuties! May next year's class be as wonderful!
The life of a teacher = hard to let them go! What lucky students = a teacher that truly loves his/her students is a teacher indeed!
