I did a horrible job remembering to take pictures the last 2 weeks, my apologies, we got so into our work that I forgot. Our first week back from break and today's half day were extremely busy and productive. We started exploring nets (2D version of a 3D shape) they cut out the shapes and folded/taped them to form the 3D verison. Next week we will hopefully finish all the nets shapes and get into our vocabulary discussions, then they will be able to use the shapes to create some buildings. They also worked very hard on their structure build challenge we started before break. They are showing some serious creativity and thoughtfulness in their designs, which are two of the reasons that ALERT decided to work with Minecraft this year. They have a few more weeks to work on this before we get into a more architecture vocabulary build. |
