6th Grade students finishing up a STEM challenge- Ancient Mesopotamia Cuneiform Coding


Today we had Dr. DeCoteau in our school. She spent time with administration and then ended the day with a whole staff professional development.



🌊🚢 Sailing Into Problem-Solving! 🚢🌊
Today, students took on the challenge of designing and building aluminum foil boats! 🛠️✨ After carefully crafting their vessels, we set them afloat and tested their strength by adding pennies as weight. 💰💪
It was amazing to watch them brainstorm, collaborate, and adapt their designs as they worked to keep their boats afloat for as long as possible. 🧠⚓ Who knew so much STEM learning could happen with a few sheets of paper, some water, and a whole lot of creativity? 💡📐
