Engineering in Mrs. Dwyer's class!

Mrs. Dwyer’s first grade class worked on a STEAM project this morning based on a book called Not a Box.  In this book, the rabbit uses a box to be all sorts of things from a volcano, to a building, to a space ship.  The students worked in groups to create their own “not-a-box”.  They used boxes that our new seats from the PTO came in and other recycled materials. Students applied what they have learned about the engineering design cycle to design and create a boat, two space ships, the statue of liberty, and a car.
