Way to Go 400 and 500 Club

Here are SOME members of our 400 and 500 Clubs (some not pictured- they choose to go outside for recess). These are our students who use the following strategies on the STAR Reading Test:

- taking their time

- reading the questions carefully

- going back and rereading when they don't know something

- trying their best 

Slow Foods: Popcorn

Today our class had Slow Foods. We learned about popcorn! The first thing we did was make radial designs using popcorn seeds.

How to Build a Safe Roof

To finish up our Weather and Climate unit, students completed an engineering project. They needed to build a roof that could withstand winds of 140 mph (from a leaf blower) and keep a "feather family of 4" safe inside the house. Students learned firsthand how important your house is in keeping you and your family safe during different weather hazards.

Building Roofs to Prevent Weather Disasters

Students planned, designed, and are building roofs that need to withstand 140 mph of wind from a leaf blower. Look below to see some of our engineers!
