Ms Wood's class is reading Rosie Revere Engineer this week and studying 3-d shapes.
They did a marshmallow stem challenge where students were challenged to build structures to hold a peep. They used their knowledge of shapes and were all little engineers!









Mrs. Collins' class took part in a STEM challenge where they constructed 3D shapes and competed to build the tallest tower. They used toothpicks and marshmallows!
Awesome work 2nd grade!
