Cup Tower Challenge

1st Graders have been learning how habits of character help them do work. We have been exploring these three habits of character: initiative, collaboration, and perseverance, through literature and experience. 

Our first team challenge was to build the highest tower using cups from ALL teammates! Each teammate was given 4 cups and given 2 minutes to plan together. After their planning session, teams were given 5 minutes to build! As teams were building, teachers checked in to measure their tower's height.

Time to Plan!

Many 1st graders took initiative to plan their ideas on paper and share with their teammates!

Time to Build!

Let's see our plans in action!
