Cardboard Challenge!

Last year, as a school, and in our classroom, we participated in the National Cardboard Challenge.  This challenge was started by a young boy named Caine, who created an arcade, solely out of cardboard.  Last week, we watched a clip of what has happened since.

Soooo…bring on the cardboard!  Last year, as a class, we participated in the whole school build.  Then, we came back to our classroom, and worked on our own individual builds, in the classroom.  The children had so much fun with this!  This year, we are going to do the same.  We will participate in the whole school build on Tuesday afternoon, during our usual library time.  However, we will be working on creating our own “games” in class, on Wednesday.  What does this mean?!!  SAVE YOUR CARDBOARD! The children are going to work on their designs on Tuesday, and then have a chance to create their game on Wednesday.  I am asking the children to bring in the materials they will need, for their game.  This will include, recycled cardboard. (i.e. cereal boxes, shoe boxes, pasta boxes, amazon boxes, egg cartons, toilet paper or paper towel tubes, and any other paper/cardboard recyclable they can think of.). I will have extras, to share with the children.  We will also have tape, and glue for the children to use, for the challenge.
