This past week was STEM week and the children LOVED it! We got to see the 6th and 8th grade science fair projects, learn about caves and rock stratification as well as do hands-on chemistry, but I think the two things they loved most were the pop-up planetarium and the Scales and Tails reptile show. More than anything, we wanted the kids to come away having a new appreciation and excitement for science, technology, engineering and math, and I think we succeeded!

If your child has not yet brought in their STEM-related home project, please complete that and bring it to school this week! Our 3rd graders will be displaying their projects on Wednesday, the 2nd graders on Thursday and the 3rd graders on Friday of this week in the hallways and we have already begun showing our projects in the classroom, which has been a lot of fun! We will continue with that this week.
