First grade had a pausing point in their Fairytale knowledge domain where they worked in groups to save Rapunzel from the tower. First, they had ten minutes to look at the materials they could use and come up with a design to safely rescue Rapunzel from the tower. Then, they had 15 minutes to not only create but also problem solve their work. Some designs were not working like planned so they had to come up with ideas to make it work. Last, they wrote about and presented their towers to the class. They had to identify their problems and solutions. We had some clever ideas: from parachutes to zip lines to trampolines to even water slides! Their creative and collaboration was fun to witness!

It's official because we read it in the Farmers Press! Friday is officially proclaimed Lady Wildcats Basketball Day in Leeds and Maddock by the respective mayors and city councils! Congratulations on this fantastic accomplishment!
