This is a virtual classroom that I used for remote learning this year.  My students were able to access everything they needed in one student-friendly location.

In this engaging lesson titled "Wolf Watchers: Crafting an Alarm to Keep Sheep Safe!", inspired by "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" from CKLA Knowledge, students delve into the concept of creating an alarm system to protect sheep from approaching wolves.

Students will work in groups to create a Keva Plank bridge that spans an 8.5 inch “river” (sheet of paper).

Students will also reflect on group designs as well as how to improve their own work.
