I'm so very excited. Once again the Community Foundation has decided to fund my proposal. Because of this, I've been spending a few days over break trying to reorganize my room to fit the new items. We are receiving more LEGO Education robotics kits, simple and powered machines, alternative energy, and building bricks. With the added supplies, students will be able to work in smaller groups making it more likely that their ideas can be heard and realized.

They became thick and hardened. Knowing that it did in fact work, I decided to use this as part of my Christmas craft. Each of the kids created a minifigure and wrote by it so it included their handwriting. After they were baked (or Hansel and Greteled as I told the kids), we used them as a charm on an ornament filled with a ribbon that was the height of each child. It's good to know that these work but here are a few lessons I learned if you want to try this.
We had planned to do the experiment on one day but as you can see from the picture, my elf stole the balloons to float around the room, so we postponed until the next day. Those that struggled with getting the three items to work together, were allowed to add either more paperclips or index cards. Only a couple of students were truly successful but it was great conversation piece to be able to have.
This worked really well for us as one of our LEGO challenges this year includes creating their own drain inspection robots so they got the chance to pick his brain about what they would need.
