2nd Grade

Second graders are off to a great start in STEM! Students worked together to see who could make the longest paper chain using only three pieces of paper. Along the way, they shared their thinking, tried different ideas, and learned from things that did not work. We celebrated both our failures and successes and learned that teamwork and perseverance are an important part of STEM! 

After reading Room on the Broom, students became little engineers and had to design and build a new broom that could hold all the characters from the story. Once their brooms were built, they tested them to see if everyone could fit and stay on! For an extra challenge, students added pennies to their brooms to test how strong they were and how much weight they could hold.
