The Building Continues...

This week we enjoyed using some new materials like Legos, balsa wood and modeling clay.  It was amazing to see some of the structures that were created!  We also continued using drinking straws and tape and rolled newspapers and tape.  Both of the items made with these objects were very strong and were even able to hold up Ms. Falls' "froggie"!  Several students worked on the computers using a program called "google sketchup" which enabled them to design their own buildings giving them shape, definition and depth.  You can download this program at home by going to: Google Sketchup download.  See the smilebox below for photos from our most recent meeting:
