Second grade students were introduced to the literary concept of theme using the text, Not a Box by Antoinette Portis. They learned everyday materials can be turned into something extraordinary if they used their imaginations (and problem solving). Following the reading of the text, students were introduced to a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) challenge. In this STEM challenge, second grade students created a marble maze game inspired by pinball machines using a plastic plate, Play-Doh, and a marble. Students created cool structures on their plates, and laughter filled the library as they tilted their plates different directions to test their creations.
