Building Challenge

This has been a great start to the school year.   I can tell they are going to be a great class already.  When the whole class all follows the rules they get a class cub paw.  They already have 13  and it is only the third day of school.  Today we did a building challenge to learn about teamwork.  Each group was given 20 pieces of spaghetti, 3 feet of masking tape and a large marshmallow.  They had to build a free standing structure with the marshmallow on top. The tallest building won the challenge.   I was so proud of each group and how hard they worked and no one ever gave up.  Here is a picture of  the winning structure.
