To begin, a former student came and shared what he learned last year with the ball he made that could be taken outside and played with. His learning helped to inspire the class to perservere while they were designing and reworking the ball they would create.
Then we went go to work-on all the tables in the classroom, there were recyclable and reusable materials that families have sent in for the past few weeks and each of these items was put to good use.
The classroom got a bit noisy and exciting as students shaped, tested and reworked their designs.
