Candy houses

Today we had a special visitor, Mr. Lowe, who came and talked to the 3rd graders about the house his family created.  Each year his family designs a different candy house using different themes.  Last year they created the log cabin from up on Main Street in Grapevine.  This year his son came up with the idea of the house from the Disney movie "Up".  Mr. Lowe explained to the kids each step that his family goes through when building the houses from the measuring scale to the candies they use.  

Wonder if any of our students will engineer their own candy house over the winter break??
