Our 4th graders put their creativity and engineering skills to the test during their annual STEM Egg Drop Challenge! 🥚🚒

On Thursday, May 7, students designed and built their own egg protection devices to see if their egg could survive a 30-foot bucket truck drop. This hands-on activity is always a student favorite, and this year we had 20 surviving eggs!

Great job to all of our young engineers for their hard work, problem-solving, and creativity!

Mrs. Stuart’s 1st graders turned learning into something delicious today! 🥞

After writing their very own “how-to” texts on making pancakes, students got to bring their instructions to life in the best way possible—by making and eating them! From measuring ingredients to flipping pancakes, they practiced following directions, sequencing steps, and teamwork.

Safe to say… their writing (and cooking!) skills are on point. And yes—the pancakes were a big hit!
