Harrisburg R-VIII School District

Mr. Carey's Middle School Math students worked on communication, cooperation and teamwork by completing jigsaw puzzles in randomly selected teams!

6th Grade: STEAM. The students were to construct the tallest tower out of paper and tape without talking. The students got 5 minutes to strategize and plan. Then 15 minutes to construct. They all did a fantastic job constructing. They were very creative.

Meet the students in Ms. Hochwender's 5th grade class. They are to a great start this week. #BulldawgPride
