Students in Ms. Altergott and Ms. Garriga’s 1st grade class took on a STEM challenge by working together to create the longest chain possible using only 3 pieces of construction paper!
This activity encouraged teamwork, creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking—and our students did a fantastic job collaborating as a group. We love seeing learning come to life!
