On Friday we went to the Fifth Grade Simple Machines Fair in the cafeteria. The fifth graders used simple machines to build inventions that can help people. One fifth grader built a game with a ball. You rolled the ball down an inclined plane that had lots of pegs on it. The goal was to get the ball in the jackpot at the end of the ramp. The boy used an inclined plane and screws to make the game. It was interesting!

P.S. This article was written as a shared writing. Shared writing is when a group of children (in this case the entire class) shares the pen. They work together to decide what words to use and how to make the writing as clear as possible. We hope to write one article together each Friday as we prepare for our Reflection Letters.
