Stem Friday

We really enjoy our Fun Friday activities. This month’s Stem Friday just happened to fall during Read Across American week so we decided to build Cat in the Hat towers! Each group had a stack of red plastic cups and white index cards. Their challenge was to build a tower- tall or wide- it didn’t matter as long as they worked as a team. There is always one group that takes off really fast but eventually all of the groups get the idea. We had a lot of fun and also learned about persistence and regrouping after a setback. It can be hard to admit that your plan didn’t work out and even harder to try someone else’s ideas.
