Mrs. Grabiec's 3rd grade class at Williams Elementary has been reviewing Habit 3- Beginning with the End in Mind, as a part of the 1st 8 Day’s curriculum. The 3rd grade team shared this activity for the kids to work on.
In teams, students had to get their worm through the candy ring by only touching paper clips. The students had fun with it!
