We are getting ready to start our unit on bridges. I wanted to review 3D shapes and parts. I started with a lesson on the strongest shape, a square or a triangle. I used the AngLegs and gave each group a triangle and a square made with them. We held them and pushed down on the top of the shape. The square collapsed. The kids quickly saw that the triangle was stronger. I gave them one more angle piece and I asked them if they could make the square stronger. Students added the piece diagonally and identified that the square was made of two triangles. AngLegs We discussed new vocabulary and what happened to our square. We watched the Design Squad video showing a few demonstrations of strong triangles. I then challenged groups to build with straws and connectors. Each group had to make different 3D shapes and test to find the strongest shape. My students love this kit! I highly recommend them. They are very sturdy and would be great for math or recess.

Next week our story in our reading series is Super Storms. I know, I know - but, Jen, you've said you don't DO the reading series! You're right. I don't. BUT, I DO do weather, so I did make a pack to go with the story, because I can actually use the centers in my weather unit outside of the reading series. WELL, I went to get the pack to get ready - and OH. EM. GOSH! Yeah - it was one of my FIRST packs I did .....wow. SO, I did a make-over on it - AND I added something like 10 pages to it. I think it looks much better now :) 6 different activities: ~Vocabulary cards with a graphic organizer ~Compare and contrast (in both Venn Diagram and Double-Bubble) for rain/snow and hurricane/tornado with a writing extension ~Compound concentration game ~Sentence Scramble - these are written in a way that they are writing facts about weather ~Picture and caption - after brainstorming ideas, they create a "poster" and write about it ~What I learned - using a divided circle map, they jot down what they know and learned, then write about it And here is a freebie from this pack - it's the vocabulary word graphic organizer - my kids love doing it! You will also get some examples on what I do in the "More!" box - TONS of ideas. So if you've already bought it, make sure to go download it again to get the updated version! Make sure to head on over to my FB page - there's a nice surprise for you there!
