The Marshmallow Challenge

 
This morning our team engaged in some rigorous construction as they furiously worked together to build the tallest free standing structure that could support a marshmallow atop.  Provided 20 pieces of spaghetti, 3 feet of string, 3 feet of tape, and one marshmallow, I think the results speak for themselves.
Our time together as a whole school team is precious and we use it to build community, strengthen our relationships and communication with one another, while tackling complex issues related to our school, students, families, and communities.
Though a simple (and fun) team building activity, the takeaways for teaching, learning, assessment, feedback, mindset, assumptions, equity, collaboration, and collegiality are limitless.  We have an outstanding team and we continue to "build" upon our strong foundation!
