Noodle Towers?

Today we had a little fun as we put on our thinking caps on and went to work.

The goal was to build the tallest, free standing tower, that could hold a giant marshmallow on top.

The only tools the students had to use were 20 uncooked spaghetti noodles, and one yard of tape. Students had 20 minutes to complete the task.

Three groups were able to build a free standing structure.

They were awesome!

Our tallest “tower” was 11 inches tall. the other two towers were 10 and 10 1/2 inches tall.

I was very proud of all our students as they worked hard and worked together. Hopefully, everyone learned thinking can be fun, sometimes we succeed and sometimes we don’t, and never give up. Here are some pictures of our kiddos at work.

945601_10151625766969078_684414663_nSignature: Please sign your students chapter test results.

Spelling: Spelling homework begins tonight. Please click on the link under Homework (underneath the banner) that says Monday Sorts. Directions for tonight’s homework are there.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Post your questions under comments. I will be monitoring frequently.

With the addition of spelling homework, I imagine, the time to complete homework will increase. I will keep the math homework light this week. However, next week you can expect to see math homework increase. Homework should take about 30 minutes to complete. This 30 minutes does not include reading. Please click on Homework for an explanation of homework guidelines.

That being said I don’t believe that homework should become a nightly battle with your child or that it should take longer than the 30 minutes. If you find it taking longer than 30 minutes please let me know as soon as possible and we will make adjustments.

Thank you for all you do!

Mrs. H

PS The following students had a letter sent home today Londyn, Julian, Kessler, Itzahi, and Will.
