🏗️ Day 2: The Scientist Tower Challenge

Today, 7th grade science students focused on communication and teamwork. Each student wrote ONE word on a notecard describing what they think a scientist is like. Then, using only those notecards, teams had to work together to build a freestanding tower.
The collaboration, creativity, communication, and problem-solving I saw today were AWESOME! 👏🏼

🥤👏 Stacking Up More Than Cups!

This week, Ms. Robin’s 6th graders took on the Cup Stack Challenge, putting teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills to work while building something even more important—relationships! 💙

A great way to kick off a new year of learning together!
