Cardboard World: Wrap Up

10/23/2015

Looking back on two weeks of Cardboard World, we noticed some themes that emerged.  Not only did students of all four grades (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th) create houses, vehicles, animals, and ball games, but they also showed Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)/Tinkering skills such as cooperation, caring, perseverance, creativity, and ingenuity.  Everyone understood and accepted the concepts of impermanence ("We will be recycling and reusing all of the materials at the end of the week.") and respect ("It's okay to add to or change someone else's creation as long as you do so respectfully.  And know that someone else may change what you have built.").  Cardboard World may have ended but these skills carry forward into other projects.

These photos of the students & their creations are wonderful, and reading about the Social Emotional take-aways is even more exciting.
Congratulations on the success of Cardboard World!
