Today we played a hot air balloon game! Our goal was to reach a height of 10 feet in our hot air balloon before our opponent. The catch was we had to add/remove balloons and sandbags. Balloons made our hot air balloon go up and sandbags made it go down. We will continue with this activity for the rest of the week! Great job everyone!
