Did you have trouble finding the shape that you wanted to make? How did that work, boys? Good, there was only two of you, so was it hard to decide? Okay, did you come up with anything else first? You always wanted to make a tree? Now, remember one of the rules was to use all the pieces. Did you struggle with that part? Yes! There’s a few pieces. See how many pieces were left. Oh dear, we had a lot of pieces left! Give the Jayhawks a Ten Finger Woo! Tell us what design you made. So, we made an eight. We made two circles and we connected the vertices inside. Give her a Ten Finger Woo! So we made a flower, and we used sides and vertices. Was it hard to decide what shape to make? Yes. Did you do any failing? Once. You had one failure. And that means, what? What happens when we fail, boys and girls? We try again! And what are we growing? Our brain muscles! Ten Finger Woo!
