They can build boats that float for Social Studies connection for Columbus Day. They can build penguin nests out of leaves, stone, sticks, based upon where the type of penguin lives. They constructed the North Pole out of gumdrops and sticks, different buildings for different functions. They construct wind socks to observe strength and direction of wind. https://padlet.com/arrusso/NGSSKETS/wish/260626587 2018-05-14 19:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/arrusso/NGSSKETS/wish/260626587 Design a Bridge https://padlet.com/arrusso/NGSSKETS/wish/260626678 Design a bridge that would hold the 3 Billy Goats Gruff.
