Battle of the Books

Alaskan schools participate in the "Battle of the books" (http://www.akla.org/akasl/bb/bbhome.html) Where the 3/4 Grade read books and compete in a quiz over the phone.

We have read:
11 Birthdays
13-Story Tree House
and have just started: Dr. Libris.

Today in the Makerspace, one of the students started to create a "13-story treehouse", she plan to create a ladder using some cut up popsicle sticks and I'll post pictures as it continues to grow! 

Another student created the characters "Andy" and "Terry" out of pipe-cleaners. 

What a great way to combine STEM and Reading :) 

Another cool little treehouse design

The two characters are "Trading" 

13-story treehouse with ladder, roof, and sides. She chose to use paper to "not waste" the popsicle sticks

Only one student figured out that you could create without using glue ;)
