First Graders & 4/5 graders work on the Paper Tower Challenge!

Livi and partners built a very TALL tower!

Student engineers were asked to design and create the tallest tower that they could with only- 20 pieces of paper!  No tape!  No staples!  No glue!  Just 20 pieces of paper and their engineering minds.  They had 30ish minutes to design and build.  They learned a lot from the failures and continued to make optimizations.

First graders share their thinking after tower building.

Hello everyone!  I am so excited to start our own class blog.  We have a lot to learn together and it will be fabulous.  Enjoy reading the student blogs.  Remember that all comments and posts must be approved by me the teacher!

Happy Blogging!
