Trip, trap, trip, trap... today we engineered bridges to go along with our fairytale The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
Next stop, Italy! We learned all about Italian foods and even made our own pizza! We also learned that contrary to popular belief, Michelangelo did not paint the Sistine Chapel on his back. We still had fun giving it a try!
Around the world we go! Today's travels took us to China, where we learned about The Great Wall of China and the celebrations of Chinese New Year. We even made our own dragon puppets. We can't wait to see where our adventures will take us tomorrow!
Today, in fairy tale summer school, we read The Three Little Pigs. Then we tried our hand at building a house made of straw(s), sticks (lincoln logs) and bricks (Mega Blocks). We huffed and puffed but could not blow these houses down!
The Iowa-Grant FFA spent their Sunday at Farmer’s Appreciation Day in Dodgeville. At the event, they handed out FREE cheese samples donated by Hook’s Cheese of Mineral Point and strawberry, chocolate, and white milk donated by Kwik Trip. They also handed out children coloring book, reading materials, and beef and pork recipes. Dairy promotion tattoos were also applied to many excited children. Special thank you to all of the donors!
