Third graders in PPS learn about the city of Portland, with a particular emphasis on the city's bridges. There are 14 bridges over the Willamette, some for cars and some pedestrians, and many of them move up and down, so it's a fun unit of study. (Usually there's a field trip to go see some bridges, but not this year. ) For a final project, kids at our school build a bridge out of household materials, and Liesl's teacher assigned it to the class for a home project. Liesl and I had so much fun building the St. John's bridge together, and then Steve came in to help paint the background.
Here's a video of Liesl narrating the construction of the bridge and some fun facts about it..
