@poweredlibrary https://t.co/i22ETokR2k Created by 5th graders... 😊

[Cassidy Almquist @msalmquist]

@poweredlibrary I showed them a few things and ideas, and they ran with it! Better than I'd hoped for!

[Cassidy Almquist @msalmquist]

@poweredlibrary They did so great collaborating and problem solving, and they had a lot of fun. Thought maybe they could create one tying into their unit...

[Cassidy Almquist @msalmquist]

@poweredlibrary I let the Ss try one that was already created, just to see how they responded as I was building my own to go with their unit...
