STEM Challenge # 7 and Goodbye Dr. Seuss

After reading Horton Hatches an Egg, the students were challenged to build a nest that could protect an egg and support an elephant. 

Efe's first attempt failed but did not deter him.

Zaila's nest of stuffed animals failed as well.

Klowi's first attempt cracked under pressure.

Allison used Unifix cubes for a stronger base.

And it worked!

Jess and Levi teamed up to build a double decker nest that protected two eggs.

Efe soon learned that blocks were a better choice.

I'm pretty sure this attempt failed.  ;-)

Here we are showing off our cute Loraxes.  The mustache is made from tracing your child's hands.

Here's our "Cat in the Hat Crafttivity".  The children wrote whether or not they'd like the Cat to visit their home.

Here are our Things 1 & 2 and one of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes.

From there to here,

From here to there,

Funny things are everywhere!

Another favorite Dr. Seuss quote:

You have brains in your head,

You have feet in your shoes,

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
