GT day with Ms. Hensley

Once a month, Ms. Hensley (who is our gifted and talented teacher) comes into our classroom and challenges our students to use some outside the box and creative thinking. Last week, we discussed sky scrapers, and then the students were given materials to try and see how tall they could make their own sky scraper. They were only given a marshmallow, uncooked spaghetti, yarn, and tape. I loved seeing their minds hard at work trying to decide how they wanted to build their sky scraper. Here's how it went!

They all worked SO hard, but in the end, Leland had the tallest sky scraper of over a foot tall!
