Belmont Elementary

🧱✨ 4th Grade STEAM Challenge! ✨🧱 Our 4th grade students put their creativity, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills to the test with a mystery LEGO challenge! Each student received a bucket of LEGOs and had to build a unique creation using every piece. Along the way, they faced surprise challenges, including building with only one hand for two minutes and trading three pieces with an opponent! The students decided to turn their creations into a competition, so their builds are now on display for voting through tomorrow. 🏆 We love seeing our students think outside the box, embrace challenges, and bring their ideas to life! 💡👏 #BES #STEAM #CreativeThinking #StudentSuccess
