We are inspired by our Mount Vernon Community of students, families, and staff who are showing great resilience, determination, and creativity to stay connected with one another and to support student learning. Their efforts to continue to make Every Day Count during this unprecedented time are amazing! Teaching & Learning staff are excited to share resources and ideas for staying connected and supporting student learning. Students are likely to hear from their classmates, teachers, and school sites with ways to stay engaged. Maintaining our sense of community supports our social-emotional health and will help each of us to remain engaged in learning. We hope you engage with and enjoy the ideas we post on our Every Day Counts! student learning blog. Stay tuned--we plan to begin posting on Monday, March 23rd! Many of the resources we will be sharing are available to all students via the MV TECHSMART K-12 DIGITAL LITERACY site.

4-16-2020 Tower Building Challenge



You can build with all kinds of different things that you find around your house.  One suggestion is to build a tower using index cards.  If you don't have index cards, you could use playing cards.  

1. How tall can you build your tower?
2. What strategies did you use to make your tower strong?
3. What is the highest tower you can make with 20 cards? 
4. What shape is stronger?  A triangle, a rectangle or a cylinder?
5. Is your tower strong enough to hold something on top?  What can it hold? 
6. What other materials could you use to build a tower?
