I hope toWant to learn more about the creative strategies we use to teach skills like programming? Join us for a student-led STEM Family Night and try programming a variety of robots yourself! 5th Grade students created nose cones and fins in STEM to help make their film canister rockets they made in class more aerodynamic. As always with this group, there was a lot of thoughtful engineering and a solid helping of team spirit as you will see in our pictures. 5th Grade Rockets 1st Grade continues to work on sound in their classroom unit planner, so we are using the engineering design process to learn about how to block sound waves. Their challenge is to build a structure for my phone that causes the smallest decibel reading on it when we make noise outside of the structure. They are working really hard to test and modify. 1st Grade Sound Build 5th...

I can't wait for you to see them, but here's a picture of a few kids at work: Kindergarten students continued to study forces in STEM. Students did straw and pompon mazes, STEM bowling, domino building, and gears to keep looking at how forces work. Kindergarten pictures First grade brought home their harmonicas they made to demonstrate that sounds...
