☀️🐞 Small bugs, big STEM learning!

After their STEM field trip to the airport, students in Mrs. Dodson’s class kept the learning going back at Sycamore Park! Mr. Dugger visited the classroom to help students assemble solar-powered “bugs.” Using small solar panels and vibrating motors, students explored how energy from the sun can create motion—bringing renewable energy to life!

💛 Mrs. Arend’s 2nd graders are growing as learners and friends! From creating “family bracelets” and reading with their 5th grade buddies in Mrs. Pritchett’s class to messy oobleck investigations, partner fluency practice, and Bee-Bot place value coding with Mr. Ortman, each day brings something new.

They’ve even adopted a calf named Mango and will follow her growth throughout the year! 🐄📚🤖

Together, they’re becoming stronger readers, writers, mathematicians—and kind, compassionate classmates.

Estimating with Goldfish!

Our first graders had so much fun practicing estimation with this hands on activity! Mrs. Daniels challenged the students to estimate how many goldfish would fit inside the penguin’s belly. They made their estimates, counted the goldfish to check their thinking, and talked about how close their estimates were to the actual number.

It was wonderful to see their excitement and enthusiasm as they practiced an important math skill in such a fun and engaging way! And, of course, the best part was getting to enjoy the goldfish at the end of the lesson!
