Hold It!

Fifth grade students from the Tye DI Dragon Destination Imagination team were surprised how much weight their first tower held. Now it's time for them to make improvements. Anyone have any barbell weights?

Future City Mentor

The 7th grade classes are making great progress preparing for the Future City Competition.  Both teams have virtual cities with populations over 100,000!

They met with their engineering mentor for the first time last week.  Mr. Ramos taught students about various scales using model airplanes and blueprints from the Spirit of St. Louis Airport.  He also gave students suggestion on how they could make improvements to their virtual cities.  We are very excited to continue working with our new mentor.  Thank you Mr. Ramos!

Hickory Dickory Dog

I'm very excited to announce that my first and second grade students have completed their poetry book! We've been writing couplets, limericks, and ruptured rhymes. Each student chose two poems to have published in a hardback book. Here is a sneak peek!
