Little Bits & Nursery Rhyme Predicaments!

PEGS students have been studying poetry this week since April is National Poetry Month. When discussing rhyming words, nursery rhymes were mentioned. So, this led to a great idea: Let's solve nursery rhyme predicaments using LittleBits.
What?  Yes.  Students read and thought about nursery rhymes and then came up with an idea to either prevent the nursery rhyme from happening, or resolving the issue when it occurs.
So,  here you go!  Look at these ideas!

Little Boy Blue needs help when falling asleep in the haystack!

Mary's lamb needs to be encouraged to not enter the school!

Here's another idea for LBB!:  

Little Boy Blue needs help when falling asleep in the haystack!

Keeping LBB awake was a common concern!

Helping the woman with too many children all living in a SHOE!

Keeping the mouse out of a the clock was of utmost importance!

Entertaining the children who lived in a shoe was necessary to help the woman!

Sleepy Little Boy Blue was a big concern in the PEGS room!

Audrey and the Electric Fan!

Audrey took apart an electric fan.

We were able to see how the motor and fan blades were connected.

This fan was interesting because it has springs wrapped inside; 

we think it was to diffuse the air as it circulated away from the blades.

The parts of the fan were not that complicated like the cassette player.

Ethan the Electronic Termite!

This is all that is LEFT of the Cassette Player!

Ethan Digs Into a Cassette Player!

Ethan dug into an old cassette player!

This is what he saw when he opened it! 

We learned about circuit boards and speakers!

What will we find?

  

So many things to study!

 He kept taking it apart!

Soon, it will be just parts!
