Evergreen Engineers

 This week we have had several engineering challenges;

Construct and evergreen that is as tall as YOU!

Use links or cubes and measure how tall the little evergreen tree is.

Can you count how many pieces you used?

What other materials can you use to build an evergreen tree?

Fun Friday couldn't have been any more FUN than it was this morning! After learning about evergreen trees for the past week, we figured out how to assemble our own evergreen. These little engineers will take on any challenge:)

First, we sorted the branches according to length.

Next, starting with the longest branches, we figured out how to get the end into the little hole. The tricky part was wiggly it down just right until we heard a click!

We quickly learned that working together made the job easier.

  Isn't collaboration great?!

The kiddos decided that this tree needed a nice pointy topper!

 It looked a little strange when we were finished and then someone said: 'We have to fluff it up!'

We are excited to have our own little evergreen in our classroom.

and over the next week or two it will be fun to decorate it and turn it into a beautiful Christmas tree, but FIRST... we WAIT!
