They each have accepted the challenge. My two classes will compete with each other in gingerbread house making – the class with the most points wins! We will have pictures next week but I am happy to say that the students came up with this idea and the parameters. Judging is on Thursday December 17.
Scholastically speaking, it is great to see many of them do things they normally shy away from, like math, double checking measurements and planning. Even down to the careful counting of the candy to make sure everything is fair and square.
Vocationally speaking, the classes have been more orderly than usual. I haven’t even had to ask anyone to clean! Thank you Hays House Museum (in Maryland) for these pictures.
