The school year is already flying by!  I can hardly believe that it is November already.  The Lego We Do projects and circuit building kits took a little bit longer than expected.  We also have worked on some computer skills so far this year.  We had to get in the Maker Space again and try a STEM challenge to celebrate Thanksgiving.  The challenge was to build a boat (like the Mayflower) out of one piece of paper, Popsicle sticks, and aluminum foil.  The students then added pennies to their boat to see how buoyant it was.  One group was able to put 80 pennies on their boat before it sank!  The students really enjoyed this activity.  The experimented with different ways to build their boat and really worked well as a group.  I will definitely do this again next year.
