Covered Wagons!!

Monday morning my students walked into the classroom and found that the desks had been turned into covered wagons!
My students are so excited about their journey west! Today, after a review on rectangular prism nets, students constructed their own covered wagon for the wagon train. We have some very interesting wagons.
Tomorrow is the selection of Wagon Masters and the challenge of picking their supplies for the trip.

My fabulous, wonderful and patient husband helped create the wagons out of pvc pipe, duct tape and white fabric.

    I can't wait to see what else happens on your journey West :)

    They are totally hooked! It's all coming together! Language arts-historical fiction, of course pioneer life. Math-probability!
