Go for the gold! Several grade levels have been learning about the Olympics in STEAM!
Third graders are learning about curling and how sweeping the ice reduces the friction. They made their own stones and brooms and have been playing games with other teams to see who can score the most points. Many of them have figured out the correct amount of force to push the stone in order to make it into the house (target).

In the woods, our fourth graders participated in Storytelling Magic! The students sat in on a session with a gifted storyteller who shared Native American folklore, giving the kids a deeper connection to the land and the people who have called it home for generations.
The students were engaged, energetic, and—most importantly—only a little bit chilly! It was a fantastic day of hands-on learning that they won't soon forget.

Earlier this week, five 7th grade students participated in the after school Kids in the Kitchen cooking class with Food Service Director, Chantelle Eshleman. The students learned how to peel, core and slice an apple and measure ingredients for the apple crisp they made, which they then were able to take home.
Next, they learned how to dice and julienne onions and peppers and saute them on top of the stove, to then put on their flatbread pizzas they assembled, baked and ate. They received a certificate for taking the class and were able to take the apple crisp home with them. A good and delicious time was had by all!
