Once upon a time Mr. Johnson, our plant operator, gave us the inside of the paper towel box to use in our classroom. We used them during math workstations to sort objects and practice skip counting. (Ms. Patin came in to observe one time and was quite impressed!) The Superheroes decided to create more challenges in math workstations and did not need the cardboard anymore. We all discussed what could we build? Well, the day after reading Hansel and Gretel and making cinnamon ornaments - we decided to build a Gingerbread House! But how would we do it? The students gathered their materials, drew blueprints, and tried many different ways. In the end, we decided the boards should lay horizontally and be stacked on top of each other. I had the ingenious idea of using duck tape to stick it together. And the rest as they say is history...
