This week during our skyscraper study – a student suggested we build a skyscraper out of paper.  I was amazed how he figured out to do it – paper tubes!  Here are a few photos of the children attempting the paper challenge!

I taught my class how to “tab” and they figured out how to use tabbing to glue down the columns.

The biggest issue the children had was creating columns of equal height.

The tallest building was three stories high.  Not bad!
