Tower Challenge...Building toward Teamwork

During library rotations today, our fifth graders worked on the concepts of perseverance and teamwork as they worked on a tower challenge.  Dr. Moore gave them a challenge to build the tallest tower they could using only 20 pieces of spaghetti, 1 large marshmallow, one foot of tape, and one foot of string.  We had some successes, some failures, and opportunities to experience a beautiful oops.  Through it all, fifth graders planned, shared ideas, tried different strategies, and worked together.
