Last week we learned about turkeys. So this week we thought we would have a little turkey fun! On Monday, all the first graders rotated to each first grade classroom to do an activity. In Miss Miller's room we made apple turkeys. In Miss Brown's room we painted a turkey craft. In our room, we had a turkey STEM challenge.
MISSION:
Turkey escaped the farm and he is coming to our thanksgiving dinner. Design a chair that can support the weight of our turkey guest.
RULES:
1. Structure must support 3 pounds
2. Structure can bend
3. Structure must be at least 1 inch off the ground even if it bends and can not break.
4. Must use only the materials given.
MATERIALS:
1. Small and large popsicle sticks
2. Clothes pins
3. Binder clips
Everyone was not successful building a structure, but EVERYONE learned perseverance and teamwork skills!
On Tuesday we played a math called Gobblin' Up Missing Addends. Each pair had a turkey, chips, and a recording sheet. Partners took turns making the turkey "eat" some of the chips while the other partner hid their eyes. When the partner turned around they had to write a missing addend equations with the chips they saw, then they had to count on to find how many chips the turkey ate.
