Bridge Event

The 4th grade Challenge students in Greenville County compete in a bridge competition each year.  Each bridge has certain requirements and can only be made of Popsicle sticks and glue.  S and her group have been working on their bridge the better part of the year and we so excited and super nervous about this morning's event!  There were TONS of kids there(many we knew from other schools!) and lots of bridges to be tested.  The idea was to see how much weight(measured with sand) each bridge could withstand before breaking!  The bridges that made it to 100 lbs were the "winners" and then prizes were given out for most original, best architecture design, best structural design and best craftsmanship.  S's group's bridge was cute - but wasn't super sturdy only getting to about 16lbs! But, she had fun!!  We celebrated with Krispie Kreme afterwards:)



S's group - S, Ava, Halle and Olivia

This is the bridge after the competition - at least it wasn't broken into
smithereens like some of the others were!:)

HOT NOW!!!
