Building Towers

The boys and girls had a competition last Thursday. Each group was given a bucket of solids (rubber band, aluminum foil, cups, Popsicle sticks, straws, etc.) to create a tower. The rules required them to use all the materials and to create the tallest tower in a certain time period.











This group was the winner! They worked so well together! I saw a lot of teamwork!


I had a lot of disappointed children, but it was definitely a learning experience. We reflected on our experience to help us realize that working cooperatively takes a lot effort. It is a give and take mindset that is hard for second graders to grasp.
