Mrs. Wojtaszek's class learned about worry dolls in Math. This is a Guatemalan tradition. Mrs. Leong thought it would be a fun project for them to take on in Makerspace. The idea is to tell the doll your worries before you go to bed, then place the doll under your pillow. When you wake in the morning, your worries have been taken away by the doll!
Our 4th grade LEGO Club students got creative today! They constructed their first names in 2D and 3D, then incorporated them into a LEGO city scape.
