Second Grade has loved STEM and learning lots of problem-solving strategies this year. They have learned a great growth mindset and how to keep trying even if something is hard!
Fifth grade had fun in STEM, connecting what they're learning about the American Revolution with an engineering project! Students made their own clotheslines and devised ways to keep the clothes off the ground. They also made up a "code." For instance, if the clothes were hanging in a particular order, it meant, "I'm hungry for a burger and fries." During the Revolution, clothing items in certain orders meant that the Redcoats were near.
Fifth graders participated in a reader's theater on the American Revolution. Great reading and active listening skills!
We had the opportunity to celebrate our January students of the month this morning! We appreciate all their hard work. The students got their award and a brag tag.
