Super train converter

"it is a tunnel for trains. When they go through the tunnel the trains go into the future. We built because we wanted to plan something out. We want our families to see our creation."

Cooperation and Compromise through Pumpkin Carving!

The Super Kinders learned about cooperation and compromise through group pumpkin carving. Each group was given one pumpkin. First, they had to design their faces on paper as a group. Students had to collaborate on one cohesive design before they could use markers to transfer their design to the pumpkin. Once they had their faces drawn on their pumpkins they were able to gut out their pumpkins with their hands. the designs were carved out and then they were able to pose with their end product. Students learned that when we work together, present ideas and compromise within a group you can make great jack o' lanterns!
