LaunchED Picture of the Week
K-2 students were inspired this week by the story How to Catch a Snowman by Adam Wallace. They designed a trap to catch a snowman to win the “contest” in the book and then wrote about how well their trap worked. Design Thinking integrated with Language Arts for the win! Thank you to Ms. Legrand, our amazing STEAM teacher, for sharing this wonderful activity with us!
