It was a great week of learning! We started Monday off with National STEM Day and celebration of our school and STEM. Students either worked on their Project Based Learning Project or completed awesome STEM experiments! See the video for more photos and action! One of our main goals when learning is for students to find it purposeful and enjoyable. We are so grateful for your support as the students continue to grow and discover new concepts each day!
Committed to Success,

National STEM Day - 2nd Grade
National STEM Day - 4th Grade
Students in Mrs. Kittrell and Miss Terry’s classes designed landing gear to help astronauts land their rockets safely. In designing this landing gear, students had to think about the impact of gravity and aerodynamic drag that could affect the rocket’s ability to land safely. Students had to use only the materials given to them to create this landing gear. Additionally, they had to make sure that the astronauts stayed inside the rocket when landing. The students had so much fun designing, building, and testing their rocket’s landing gear, and thankfully most of the astronauts were able to land safely!

Book Fair
Students have been asking about it for weeks and now it is finally time! Coming November 29-December 3 is our annual Book Fair! Immediately following Thanksgiving break and just in time for Christmas gifts, the Book Fair will be held in the library, and parents will be able to come in before the Holiday Spectacular-see graphic below! More details will be coming about Scholastic's "ewallet" that allows you to put money on an account so you do not have to send cash. There will be something for all (children's) ages and price ranges. Meet me at the fair!
