Kindergartners learn first-hand how Appledore will be moved

Kindergartners recreated the upcoming Appledore move this morning in tech class. They used the same strategy that Erland Construction will use to move Appledore, but in a kindergarten-friendly format. Erland’s foreman even visited tech class to offer his advice on their project. Kindergartners started by building a block house on a piece of cardboard. They then leveled a rail, with tech teacher Dave Hamilton using a bubble leveler to make sure the rail was straight, adding cribbing (similar to a Jenga tower) to hold up the rail. Wooden dowels were used to roll the house and cardboard down the rail. The result? Kindergartners’ block houses moved down the rail, just as Appledore will on April 30!
