-We did a quick review of the material we covered last day on the Protestant Reformation.
-Then we practiced thinking like Renaissance inventors. Students were put into teams (named after famous people from the Renaissance) and the aim was to purchase items in an auction that would later be used to create a device that would protect a raw egg dropped from the upper floor to the lower floor of our school. The inventions were very creative. Of the eight teams, 4 were successful in coming up with a design that was able to survive the plunge. A good effort was made by all.
-Please remember your food bank items for Friday's class.
