Scholars were so excited to receive a special visit from Kathryn Gibbs Davis, author of Mr. Ferris and His Wheel! She spoke about how Mr. Ferris dreamed big and followed the Engineering Design Process to design the Chicago Wheel, the first ferris wheel, in 1893. She also answered students' questions about her books and about being an author. Thank you to the PTA for providing this wonderful experience for our students!
Scholars were challenged to create theme park rides or attractions using recycled materials, and our fourth graders really showcased their creativity and innovative ideas!
