From Mrs. McCarty's 2nd grade class: Groups of 3-5 worked to try and construct a tower made of nothing but 15 sheets of paper, a few paper clips, one yard of tape and 2 small plastic cups. Seems impossible, right?! Did I mention it has to be 12" tall and be able to support a book for 1 minute?! Yeah.. We tried, we failed, we tried, we failed. Then, we saw an example, and that it COULD be done, because our teacher would never give us a task that sets us up for failure. Then, we re-discussed, retried, and we made it happen!!! I totally wish I had after pics, but I was so excited that I went right into the lesson. Ask your child about it! Here are some pics of their efforts!!
