Today I went to the creek. I got to throw dead corn stalks in the creek. I got to cross part of the creek on a log. I got my socks wet and my toes were freezing. Mom's were, too.
We wanted to go across a different part of the creek, but we couldn't. I thought and thought and thought. I used my skills from Cyberchase, a PBS show. These are the steps, I said:
- 1. What is the problem we have to solve?
- 2. What is one way we could do it without getting wet even if we don't have the materials?"
- I thought, "Hey, what if we make a bridge out of stepping stones?"
And Mom said, "Sure." But we only got halfway across.
My mom said, "Come here." I got the giggles when she tried to put me on her back because I kept slipping back down onto the rock in the middle of the stream. Then I rode across the creek on my mom's back and the water was up to her calves.We saw a big grassy field on the other side; it was amazing. And then we went back.
