So far this year during EL Module (language arts), our first-graders have been learning about tools - tools that help clean, tool that help paint, tools that help cook, and all kinds of tools!
Today, students were learning about tools that can't be held in one's hand but that can help solve problems: initiative, collaboration, and perseverance.
Teams discussed strategy and made a plan for building the tallest tower using all the cups they were given. All the teams persevered to push beyond a 4 story tower (which was the original record). Have a look at all the creative solutions to the problem.
