Fifth and sixth grade art today met in the gymnasium, the
challenge being to take a pack of index cards and compete
against other groups of 2-3 students for height. For sixth
grade the added challenge was to also use the least number
of cards...as though a card represented building and labor
costs (perhaps $1 million dollars per card).
The example of bidding on contracts to build a new bridge
perhaps in Minnesota, showing that we could come up with
innovation, less costs and so forth. Initially the students
just leaned cards and tried to build them up, but seeing
Mr. Seiler bending his cards (never said students couldn't
bend them...hee heeee), this opened up a whole other flood
of ideas. Thinking outside the box...
Above you see Mr. Seiler's effort for to demonstrate thinking
creatively. Here are some fun efforts by the students! Very
nicely done...!
