We've been continuing work on our recycled cars. 2nd graders began by using their journals to sketch ideas and then moved on to constructing the car body from cardboard and masking tape. Next step is assembling the wheel/axel components. I've had a group of faculty, staff, and parents diligently collecting plastic bottle caps for me. It turns out that these caps, with holes drilled into the center and connected with a skewer, make great wheels. We also discovered that if we put a thin straw over the skewer axel we get a nice smooth roll. 2nd graders are finishing up their construction and are adding some decorative touches. They are getting excited for a little friendly car racing.
