one of my former students
who i now work with after school
created this travel brochure
complete with her plan for ‘how to get there’
using an innovative method i hadn’t considered
but it makes perfect sense from her perspective.

update
for those who wondered
right along with me
how i would solve
this puzzle
when the symmetrical framing
was
quite possibly built upside down
on a table too small to turn the puzzle
i opted
not to
turn the table or tear down the walls or the house
instead
i accepted
the opportunity
of the additional challenge
offered up
and just built it upside down.
solved.

team problem solving
4 grandies and 1 wagon
lots of sizes
lots of weight
lots of ages
lots of ideas
lots of feelings
1 bent axle
1 road at the end
how to get it back up the driveway
who wants to pull
who wants to push
who wants to ride
who wants to walk
how can we do it so no one cries?
