The Napping House

PRE-COVID

Teach Outside the Box has done it again! We read The Napping House and the kinders had a grand time with helping me retell the end of the story.

They are the cutest right? We then watched some QR codes on balance. Little did they know learning about balance was going to help them with the final challenge. 

First came the 1st build. They had to build a bed from thick popsicle sticks and clothespins. It was quite entertaining to teach them to use clothespins, safely.  It was tough for them to set up the headboard and footboard of the bed. There was a little bit of balance work here with the popsicle sticks on top of the clothespin sections. After all that the students had to work together to retell the order of characters. When they had the order they had to balance the cups of characters. Teamwork, communication and a few laughs later most partners completed the challenge.
