Students in Mrs. Mathes’ 4th grade class at Coleman Elementary put teamwork and perseverance into practice with a challenging puzzle activity! 🧩

Working in groups without knowing what the completed puzzle looked like, students had to communicate, collaborate, and work through challenges together. It was a hands-on way to learn that struggles can be part of the process, and that working together can help find a way forward.
