To kick off their work with the book Bridge to Terabithia, Mrs. Clayton's Focus Literacy classes worked in teams to construct bridges using uncooked spaghetti, masking tape, and marshmallows. After planning their designs and building, they tested their bridges to see how much weight each would hold. Mrs. Clayton saw some future engineers at work!
