On Monday, students in the McCarver Elementary Special Housing Program used their imagination and creativity to design their own Thinga-ma-jiggers. The challenge - working in teams to create a Thinga-ma-jigger that The Cat in the Hat can ride in, that students can sit in, one that moves, or maybe even flies! They rose to the challenge and created magical vehicles that transported all of our imaginations!
The purpose of the KBTC Ready to Learn Initiative is to increase math and reading skills of low-income children living in Tacoma, WA. We do this by partnering with community organizations to develop a 360 degree approach to informal learning using PBS KIDS media.

Thinga-ma-jigger Challenge
What's a Thinga-ma-jigger you ask? Well, it's the most fantastical flying, walking, swimming, sailing machine ever invented and the only way to travel for The Cat in the Hat! It can go to any place or space - large or small, growing and shrinking to fit the size of any adventure. The magical contraption can sprout anything and everything from wings to booster rockets, to ballons, to skis - just pull the "right" lever!
