Today was the annual Egg Drop at school. The TEAM students and fourth graders each had the opportunity to build a contraption that would protect an egg when dropped from very high atop the lift arm of an Radant Electrical's lift truck. Maelle's contraption was a peanut container filled with Easter grass and yarn attached to a parachute that Chris helped her make. She and Chris practiced dropping it from the hay loft a couple of days ago, and it worked perfectly. Today in the actual Egg Drop, her egg remained nearly completely in tact with one tiny hairline fracture. It was counted as a win since the egg didn't actually break and nothing spilled out. Thank goodness for our super-strong eggs!
