Observation Skills
We practiced making and recording observations using terms from our "Observational Properties" chart we created by observing "monkey brains", or Osage Oranges. To learn more about this interesting fruit, click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maclura_pomifera
Spaghetti & Marshmallow Towers
During the first week of school we worked on team building and brainstorming skills. One of our tasks was to work with our team to make a tower using only spaghetti and marshmallows. While our towers didn't quite turn out as we'd hoped, the students did a fantastic job working together and had fun in the process!
