The Most Magnificent Bridge Challenge!

Posted Date: 09/10/26 (10:40 AM)


After reading *The Most Magnificent Thing* by Ashley Spires, our 3rd and 4th grade students took on a **most magnificent challenge of their own!** 💡✨
Students were challenged to **design and create a bridge that would safely get their rubber duck across the “flowing lava.”** 🌋🦆 They had to use creativity, problem-solving, perseverance, and a little engineering magic to bring their ideas to life!
Some designs worked right away, while others required a little **“try, fail, change, and try again”**—just like the girl in the story! 💪💭
Students who successfully completed the challenge earned a **Most Magnificent Certificate 🏆, Library Leader Ticket 🎟️, pencil ✏️, and bookmark 📖** to celebrate their accomplishment!
We are SO proud of our students for taking risks, thinking creatively, and not giving up when things didn’t go exactly as planned!
🌟 They didn’t just build bridges…they built confidence, creativity, and perseverance!**
