Third graders put their skills to work in fun, engaging team-building activity

Students in Corrine Vertescher’s third grade class at EJR engaged in a very cool team building activity.

Three students sit at three desks. They are all holding strings to move the cups into position.

Each team of three was tasked with stacking their cups in a pyramid form. But there was a catch – they could only use string and a rubber band. Their hands were not allowed to touch the cups!
