The 4th Little Pig

Students waited all week for this day to arrive. Throughout the week we have been discussing the differences between the city and the country. We have also read several versions of City Mouse/Country Mouse and the Three Little Pigs. For our STEM project today, students pretended to the the 4th little pig, who we assumed to be a country pig. The only building materials he had available were marshmallows and toothpicks. Students had to work together to build a dwelling that would be strong enough to withstand the Big, Bad Wolf's huffing and puffing. We had lots of fun with this activity.
