From Sonali Deshpande, First Grade Teacher:
Mrs.Deshpande's first grade class figuring out how beavers build a dam. Upon their reflection, they realized that mud is really important. It keeps all the sticks together so that the water doesn't go through. They used sand, real sticks, Popsicle sticks and gravel. They tested their dam with real water. Success!
After the activity, I heard many students say "that was the best!" Or "I never knew mud was so important!" Or "beavers are so cool!"
