Teamwork Building


Cup Challenge: Students worked together in groups to build a cup tower. The hard part.....they couldn't touch the cups. They had to use a piece of yarn tied to a rubber band as their only tool to move the cups into the tower. The students were successful and succeeded! In the process they discovered how to work well together. What an awesome job!
