[quote=Anonymous]I substitute regularly at a few elementary schools. It seemed pretty much regular school through last Friday, with a different “air” about it. On Friday during the math block for example, the class I had was assigned the task of creating a design for a sculpture for the front of the school. They could work independently or in a small group. First they had to sketch the design and write a short description of how it represented the school. Then they used Keva planks to build a model of the design using more than 25 but less than 45. Once that was done they were given a total budget that could be spent on the sculpture. Each plank used was given a dollar amount that corresponded to a material (stone $4, copper $6, etc). They had to figure out the cost of using each material or a combination of materials and had to adjust their design accordingly. They knew it wasn’t for a grade, but they had fun and got some positive things out of it.[/quote]
