How do you show teamwork?
Students began with the Marshmallow Challenge
Students were given 12 spaghetti sticks, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow!
The object of the challenge: create the tallest free standing structure with the marshmallow on top.
See their hard work below:

This week we also met our fifth grade buddies. Together, students worked as a team to make a plastic cup tower using only a rubber band and string. The instructions were to build a tower without using any hands, only the tools provided. Wow!
It took communication and determination to succeed at this challenge.

All teams succeeded in building their tower. Great work!

Hi, Ashlynne!
DeleteYou're very good at making sentences.
I also liked the challenge!
It was a very fun, and funny one.
When we were about to finish our stack of cups, I knocked it down while trying to make them even.
We had to make our tower again.
When we were about to finish again, the cup we tried putting on top of the stack fell onto the floor.
We found a way to get the cup back, and put it on the top of our stack!
My buddy and I were very proud of ourselves.
I had so much fun working with her!
What was your favorite part of the challenge?

Teamwork is fun and great. I have a great time with teamwork. One time I helped my dad clean a garage and paint the walls in the bedrooms. First, we have to get some paints. Second, we have to get a cleaning fluid to clean an oil stain that was leaking from a car.
ReplyDeleteWe were doing great teamwork and helping each other paint and clean. How did you do on other teamworks you've done in life?

Teamwork is great and fun! When my big sister, my mom, my dad, and me went to Bakersfield to help my nephews and my older sister move out of their old house. The value of teamwork is one of the most important because we were able to get things done!
DeleteHi Skyler
ReplyDeleteI think your comment is awesome. Such good grammer and spelling.I also think teamwork is good too.I built a tower with my sister. I built the inside, she built the outside.

Dear Ben,
DeleteOne time my neighboors and I built this cool sea animal that was from sand and from scratch. First, we gathered all the wet sand and then we gathered water from the ocean. I had a play knife so I smoothed it out so it can look real. We got the idea to build one from another person who had a giant sea animal. When we were done it looked great the way it was. Can you guess what the sea animal was.
Kindly,
Skyler
Hi Skyler

We have a lot in common also!

Dear Grant
DeleteTeamwork is so much fun and great. Here is an example

till your friend came to help you lift up the giant, heavy box. I love teamwork. Tell me the thing we've got in common with your dad
Hi, class.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a fun challenge!
Hopefully we can do more, soon.
What did you do to build your stack of cups?
Sincerely,
Mikayla.
Hi Class,
ReplyDeleteI loved that challenge so much I was with my buddy and Marley with her buddy. First what we did was get the rubber band and tied string on the sides of it. Then we all pulled on the string while one person told the directions. It was really fun especially when the cups fell on the floor we had to try to pick it up with the rubber band and the string. I had a blast.
