3rd Grade STEAM

Today in STEAM class, our 3rd graders were given a fun challenge: create a useful tool or toy using only the materials in their bag! Mrs. Lennon encouraged them to approach the activity with a true maker’s mindset. Working in groups, students brainstormed ideas, sketched their blueprints, and then got busy bringing their creations to life.
