What an amazing semester for our Brain Boosters! Our students have been busy learning, creating, and solving problems through hands-on STEM challenges and technology projects. They strengthened digital skills by creating logos and designing inventions to solve problems, while showing creativity, teamwork, and growth all semester.

Today Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Harkcom’s 5th and 6th grade students learned ALL about SNOWFLAKES!  Using our informational text skills along with our math and science skills we read about how snowflakes were formed and ALL about their symmetry and patterns and how no two snowflakes are alike. We learned what happens to the snowflake when the air is drier and what happens when the air is more humid! We even learned a bit of history about the very first person who figured out how to successfully photograph snowflakes! Then, they got to make their very own button snowflakes for the class Christmas tree! Lots of learning and lots of fun!
