Part A: Here in Tennessee we are in a valley with lots of lakes and water falls between the mountains. The water falls have swinging bridges going across them and not everyone will walk across because of the fear of it breaking or swinging too much. So my idea is to have the children build a regular bridge with a roof that does not swing and sheds shade to those in wheel chairs can enjoy the water falls and bridge as well. In this activity we will use Lincoln logs to build a two layer bridge that stretches across with a covered top. First we will sort the logs by size. Biggest to smallest this is teaching the kids size concept. Step one, Place the large logs across the top of the water fall from land to land. The logs should be at least four

First we will do a problem solving activity. I will let the children choose a simple problem in everyday life. Give them two options to solve the problem they have come up with. The resolution could go good or bad so the children have to choose wisely. Decide which option is going to have the better out come. Remind the children if the out come is not the best choice to never give up and try again. At this age children are learning how to handle issues on there own. This will also help with following steps on succeeding and getting past an issue if one should arise. Our second activity will be working in teams to complete a task. Each member of the team will take turns being a leader. Leading the group in making a plan by asking questions that will help them come to a conclusion with the task. After everyone has had a turn with help from the teacher we will decide which task is complete and how we can fix things wrong. The children will then take turns speaking about how they completed task as a team with key points on the easy and on the hard parts of the task. By doing this the children will learn how to work together and agree on things. Understanding that everyone has different ideas and coming together as one with all the ideas you can do great
