Ms. Nixon did the Spaghetti and Marshmallow Challenge in class today. The goal was to build the highest structure in 20 minutes. They had some that stayed up till the end and some that tumbled on down, but everyone had a blast!

Ms Nixon's class had such a fun day! After Field Day, they got ice cream, came back to class and played an inside version of their favorite game, had Lunch Bunch, End of the Year party, and ended the day with dancing!
