Dear Oak,
You’d been working with the slime. Two others wore slime gloves with ropes strong enough to even hold Rhino, who could smash through the school. After getting all the slime off your hands, you started building with the magnatiles. You built a tower using all the small squares.
I was busy desliming people and dinosaurs. When I looked up, you had begun another structure using the big squares and small squares. You built a box at the center using the big squares and coming off that box you built walls with 4 small squares each.
You then built ceilings with 4 small squares each too. I saw how you used an H structure to be able to hold the 4 squares up without them caving in. I wonder how you figured that out. You built 4 of these H structures around the central box.
You weren’t finished yet. You built another structure on top of the central box. At first you used the big and long triangles to make a tower on top. Then you discovered more small squares and wanted to use them all, so you added a box to the top of your triangles.
To do this you had to use three big and long triangles on each side. The two outer triangles touched at the bottom, and you turned the center triangle point down to fit in between. Then you added 4 more big and long triangles on top of the small box.
You worked for a long time building and didn’t want anyone to destroy it. Others might want to use the magnatiles, so you knocked it down. Your structure was so sturdy that it took 13 blows before it fell.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
