Mrs. Porter's class started the year with a fun STEM activity. As a team they had to pick up a cup of marbles, and drop them all in another cup, without touching the cups or the marbles! They did amazing!
 

This past week was the first day of kindergarten! We have many students who are staying for all day kindergarten and they did a great job! They are learning lots of new things and we are so happy to have all our kindergartners with us at school!
 

Mrs. Sanders’ 4th graders started the school year with STEM activities. They stacked cups in a variety of ways using various methods. They had to be creative and work as a team.

Students in Mrs. Kruse's 5th grade class participated in a problem solving/team building activity on the first day of school. They were trying to build a bridge for their beans using only a piece of paper.
