This week the grade levels are building a tower with time and material constraints in place. The teams have 50 note cards and 24" of masking tape. The teams work together to build the tallest possible tower in 60 minutes AFTER they brainstorm and plan for 25 minutes. After the teams measure and debrief they are allowed to return to the towers to make improvements based on what they learned from each other.
Today, second grade is rocking the tower build challenge! I have seen so much cooperative problem-solving at work! I love how they are learning from their mistakes and working together!
