Today we did the Red Cup Challenge! Teams worked on building a 6 cup pyramid. Sounds easy...but the challenge was that they could not use their hands. The only tools they could were the rubber band with string tied to it. It was really hard! Teams learned that they needed to have good communication, share equally and listen to ideas in order to be successful. Ask your child about what they did and learned.

We also practiced being good observers. We talked about how observers takes notes and write about what they see. They might make some guesses about things, but mostly they describe what they see and not how they feel. Each team had to observe an everyday object like a bottle of glue or a book. We shared our observations as a class. Next week, we will be doing The great Banana Experiment and will put our skills to good use.
