Sounds We See at EdgewoodTallest Sculpture in 3rd GradeDuring International Dot Day (Week), Edgewood students came to the library for exercises in creative problem solving. Third graders in Mr. Cadalzo's class attempted to construct the tallest sculpture using small plates and tape. Most students built free-standing structures of plates that were taped to each other. Free-standing was not a requirement, so this group cut their plates into strips and taped them together to build their own "Great Wall," which they held vertically. (September 25)2019-10-1001 min
