Good Morning Division 11!
This week we are going to try something different. Everyone will have access to the entire week’s activities in advance and work on everything at their own pace. Remember to do the activities when you can and if you cannot get to everything in the same day that is okay.
The first two activities are week long activities that are chunked into parts. Scroll down to see activities split into the days of the week.
Here is the plan for April 28- May 1
(Save the table below as an image to make it larger or use as a checklist for the “group plan” also known as our daily schedule).
These two activities will be week long assignments to work on as they need planning, prepping, building, putting together etc.
- Weekly ADST Challenge
- Use blocks, LEGO, recyclables or any materials available to solve one of the following problems:
- Problem 1: The city needs your help to connect 2 places. Build a bridge that will connect one side of town with another (or between 2 pillows on the floor)
- Problem 2: You are stuck on a different planet. Build a rocket to get home
- Problem 3: Suncrest is looking for a new addition to the playground. Build a new structure to add to the school.
There are 3 parts to this activity:
- Use a blank piece of paper to as a “planning sheet” to plan out how to solve the problem (draw what your structure might look like and write down the materials or parts you will need to build your structure).
2. Create your structure and post a picture to Freshgrade when it is completed.
3. After creating your structure, write about how you solved the problem. This can include materials used, what you created and how it works. When completed submit photos and write up to FreshGrade.
2. Weekly Time Capsule Activity
Complete as many of the following sheets as you would like to complete throughout the week as this activity has many parts. Find a box around the house to keep everything in. Label your box with the title “Name’s time capsule”
We are going to keep everything together along with student work and pictures of your choice. We will share our time capsules when we get back to school; whenever that may be.
