Getting Ready

Sometime in the next couple of months, the 6th grade does a science day and they have all sorts of competitions. There's speed stacking, bridge building, tower building and some others I can't remember. Melissa first heard about it in November, so one day when her friend was over, they thought that they would start practicing. Melissa's friend is quite a bit taller than Melissa, and they were excited that the tower was taller than she was.
See? Quite a bit taller.


However, as time went on, the tower started leaning more and more, but never did fall!

As a side note, Melissa's class has been practicing as well doing the other stuff and Melissa is pretty proud of the fact that she currently holds the record in her class in speed stacking.

I watched speed stacking on TV one evening - fascinating! One more demonstration of Melissa's great eye-hand coordination.

I wish our school did all that kind of cool stuff. Good job her on the record.

What was Melissa building the tower out of? Mom

Melissa was using pipe cleaners, straws, 3 by 5 cards and paper cups. They only get a certain amount of each, but I don't remember what the specifics were.
