Today at Wildcat Adventure the kiddos had to complete a STEM project based around a sewer drain. Their goal was to work with their groups to build a device to retrieve the “vacation” items from the drain. The catch was, they only had pipe cleaners, q-tips, popsicle sticks, a ruler, and tape!
5th grade artists are almost finished with their Bob Ross paintings (:

A group of 2nd Graders shared some Reader’s Theater with kindergartners and first graders. Great practice of reading fluency for the second graders and identifying story elements for kindergartners and first graders.
First Graders in Mrs. Fegley’s class are learning how to use non-fiction texts to research the animals from The Mitten by Jan Brett. We are using texts, magazines, and books on the Epic! app to find answers to our questions and take notes. We are learning how to use the table of contents, headings, boldfaced words, glossary, index, diagrams, and maps to find facts about our chosen animals. It’s a meaningful way to apply our growing reading and writing skills!
Bryce Danko is sitting on a panel at the Farm Show today, representing career and technical education. Way to represent us, Bryce!

Miss Pauling’s and Mrs. Seibert’s class celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a STEM project. After reading multiple mentor texts about his legacy, students drafted a list of powerful words that described him. First, they wrote each word on a cup. Then, they used critical thinking and problem solving skills to build the tallest tower. They then evaluated and discussed the properties of their 3D shapes.
Mrs. Gantt’s class finished the Polar Bear unit with a challenge activity - use packing peanuts to build a shelter for the Polar Bear.
