September STEM

STEM day will occur the first Friday of each month. We start with a book read on the announcements. This month is was Rosie Revere. Then, students have a challenge that relates the book. They brainstorm and plan solutions in their stemfolios. The September challenge was to make a plane using a straw and 2 shapes. Students could choose what shapes, what size, and the distance between them. They wanted their plane to fly the farthest. After a first try, students were able to make changes and try again. Each stem day we will emphasize the importance of never giving up and critical thinking. These are important each and everyday in school. Below are some pictures from our first stem day.
