Today, our 6th graders embraced engaging opportunities to prepare for their upcoming math test. By solving problems around the room, they are not only becoming proficient in calculating the area of triangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms but also mastering volume concepts. This hands-on approach empowers excellence and fosters an environment of engaged problem solvers. #SwarmTogether

Third graders continued their weather work by constructing snow plows out of legos and Edison robots in STEAM lab. The challenge was to clear snow (plastic cups) from a parking lot in as few passes as possible. Many teams revised until their plows could get all the snow in one pass!

Fifth graders created models of Earth's orbit around the sun using sphero mini robots. It proved to be quite tricky coding the "Earth" to get to each season!

Teamwork in action! On Monday, Ms. Foglesong's 6th graders joined forces with Kindergarteners for a fun STEAM project! They investigated if a sled travels faster when heavier or lighter. Together, they engaged in problem-solving and built positive relationships. Thanks to Mrs. H-Marr and our school bus transportation for making this trip possible! #SwarmTogether
