Design Day!!

Today was Design Day! The first graders were challenged with creating a shelter for an animal in order to protect it from the cold. The children were given UV beads and a pipe cleaner to build their animal.

These enduring understandings helped shaped our focus and learning  this past 6 weeks: 1. Sometimes one small act or idea can impact someone's life in a big way. 2.
