This is what authentic learning is all about!
Our third-grade students have been combining force and motion with measurement, area, and perimeter as they designed their very own putt-putt golf holes. At the launch of the unit, students had the opportunity to learn from ATC students, ask design questions, and think like real problem solvers.
After reviewing our students’ blueprint designs, the ATC students shared how impressed they were with the detail, creativity, and thought our students put into their work. They were so impressed that they decided they wanted to bring one student's design to life and build a model themselves!
A huge shout-out to Mrs. Troutman and the ATC students and staff for working together to make this real-world learning experience happen for our students.
So proud of our third-grade Koalas!
