Classroom Action
Students at WorkStudents worked hard on a variety of projects and activities. They utilized the many amazing resources at their disposal to conduct research, create presentations, write stories, articles, and essays, and much more.

PresentationsAfter all of their hard work, students presented their learning in creative and informative ways to the class. Most projects were collaborative, so students learned how to work together to teach others about their topic.
The Marshmallow ChallengeThis fun challenge, introduced by Mrs. Ryan, had students working together with dried spaghetti, string, and masking tape to lift a marshmallow as high off the table as possible. The tallest structure that held the marshmallow at the top was the winner.
