3 Pigs Building Challenge
To bring real life context to their fairy tale Core Knowledge unit, Jen Bell's kindergarten class at Rosemary participated in a building design challenge. In groups of 2 or 3 students, students were able to select various building materials to build their house. Their goal was to build a house that was strong enough to protect a paper pig. Jen walked around with a wolf puppet, huffing and puffing to try to blow the houses down. These young students learned the true meaning of perseverance as they learned about how to connect different materials and continued to improve upon their houses!
