Third grade engineers were back in the library solving another fairy tale problem. Rapunzel is tired of letting down her hair! Teams worked to develop a pulley that would lift 100 grams. Teams challenged themselves by increasing the pulley height from 30 centimeters in the first trial to 100 centimeters in the second trial. Their teamwork and creativity continue to impress us!

Third graders helped Red Riding Hood solve an age old problem...how to avoid the wolf in the woods. The 21st century solution, a zipline of course! Working in teams students built and tested contraptions to carry Red Riding Hood's basket safely to Grandma's house. Baskets traveled up to 225cm and carried 10 grams. Our students' creativity and problem solving skills always amaze me! What a wonderful way to begin a new year. We're welcoming 2015 with new additions to our collection.

Ms GorupI've been lucky enough to be the librarian at Quail Run for the last ten years. I hope to use this site to share some of the highlights of our busy days in the library! |
