Third Graders in Mrs. Schoenberg’s room completed a team building activity to get to know one another. They were given a series of questions and were trying to find things they had in common with their classmates. If they had something in common they wrote it on a note card. The goal was to build the tallest tower! #EaglesSoar #fes
