Sixth graders learned how to play bocce ball and then put a STEAM twist to the game by using Dash robots. Each team coded their robot to launch their balls as close to the target as possible. The team that got their balls to land closest to the target won the round. Sport engineering at its finest!
Fifth graders extended their hydrosphere unit by constructing water towers that could hold mini water bottles (filled with water) at least 5 inches off the ground and stand on their own. We had lots of great ideas and working designs!
Today, our 6th graders participated in a field trip to the school woods, focusing on conservation science, nature photography, and environmental education. These engaging opportunities provide valuable experiences that empower our students to become problem solvers in a complex world. A special thank you to our field guides and Mrs. Hindbaugh-Marr for facilitating such impactful learning experiences. #SwarmTogether
What a gorgeous day for our 3rd grade adventure to the school woods! Huge thank you and shout out to our community members and Mrs. Hindbaugh Marr for their dedication and support toward creating engaging opportunities for our kids.
