Synergizing: together is better!

On Friday, groups of students worked as a team to try and build the tallest tower they could using only straws and masking tape. Before students started building, they had a planning meeting with their teammates to discuss the plan for their tower. I loved seeing the students working so well together! I can tell we are going to have a great year!

First Day Fun!

We had a great first day of school today.  I can't wait for many more days full of fun and learning!
