Our WMS students in Mrs. Kerley's seventh-grade social studies class have started studying the Industrial Revolution. They participated in a hands-on activity yesterday, simulating an Assembly Line.

Each team had to work together to draw a toy soldier- one section at a time. The students could be fired from their jobs if they weren’t working quickly enough or if they didn’t draw their part well.

The timer was set at 5 minutes to complete 20 toy soldiers. While none of the teams completed the goal, they experienced some fun frustration in their attempts to make it happen.
