With Help from Lochie and Palmer

"Looking at the thing Lochie made in Rainey Room" - Lochie

​"We are to trying make robots. The problem is people starting to put on decorations that will be covered up by paper mâché so Jordan brought the thing Lochie made to show the classmates they didn't put decoration on until it was. heres another thing: Did you know that paper mâché is only made out of paper and glue and flour." - Palmer

Me and Wolfe today had started making a robot. Olivia and Maren started to help but then they made their own robot. I realized that their robot when you look at it from the front it had mean faces. - Palmer

Me and Palmer noticed that their robot was gooders so we thought we could make our robot good. We could use toilet paper rolls for the eyes. And we used a box and opened it and it looked like the mouth was chomping. - Lochie

We continued our STEM challenge today to see what types of boats we could make and how much material they could carry. For anyone at home looking for a fun project, we used tin foil and corks to make the boats. We measured buoyancy by counting the number of beads/rocks that fit in before the boat sank. Today's record is 170. See if you can top it!

Today's game: Clean up Your Room
