I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll

....Build a better house that won't fall apart. Does this sound a little familiar?  After reading The 3 Little Pigs we decided to build a house out of recycled material and odd pieces of scraps to construct a house that wouldn't blow down.  We had to work as table teams and we had 20 minutes.  We had to use whatever was in the box at the table. Oh, we used a powerful hairdryer instead of a wolf...just in case of allergies.

We are happy to announce that the houses could stand up to the force of the "wind'.

Then we visited Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. We surely could build a chair that wouldn't break with some weight on it.  So once again, we pulled out our boxes of odds and ends, decided to use an apple to be the test weight and worked together as a team to see if we could help Goldilocks with her chair repair.

We learned from these 2 challenges how to work with each other and focus on what the task was, not on what each of us wanted to do!

I wonder what Little Red Riding Hood is up to?
