Gifted Goldberg

Today we learned about Rube Goldberg, the cartoonist, and his inventions(cartoons). We also made our own Rube Goldberg inventions and figured out how to make a"Better mouse trap." He makes simple things become so complicated.He made a character called Professor Butts.For example, he needs to do a simple task to remember to mail a letter. But he makes it complicated and makes a whatcha-ma-callit that reminds him to mail the letter.
