Today we had our first annual SEISMIC EVENT! The kids were asked to build an earthquake safe house and test it’s strength against three vicious earthquakes on Benson Plateau. Some structures survived and some did not. Most of the houses were simply built while some had lawns, furniture, working lights, pet, trees and colors across the spectrum. I gave them a list of materials to use and specific instructions which were followed for the most part. It’s interesting to see the kids interpret rules to gain every advantage. No homework over the break but next we we hit it hard.
