Thanks so much to everyone who helped make our party so much fun!

Bridge Gallery Walk Posters

Here are the posters our class created after their gallery walk in teams. Looks like we had some disagreement on some of the bridges.

Beam Bridge

Arch Bridge

Suspension

Beam Bridge

I loved hearing them discuss this one--there were disagreements over what type of bridge it is....It is a suspension because it has towers and cables. 

Arch Bridge--again some disagreement here. It is an arch bridge because there are arches in the bridge--just underneath the bridge rather than above.

Bridge Gallery Walk

We looked at different types of bridges in small groups. We had to decide what type of bridge it was (beam, arch, or suspension) and write what we observed about the bridge that made it strong.

Just wanted to let you know that our class pet Buttercup has passed away. She was almost 2 so I believe she just passed away due to old age.
