These are the STEAM projects that Mrs. Ireland's Pre-K 4 class have been working on with the help of Mrs. Quidas’ 5th grade class to do it! The requirements were to have at least 3 different obstacles and then also have 3 different ways to move through it (jump, run, slide, climb, etc.)! They did an amazing job!

Our 4th Grade GT students have been hard at work in Mrs. Brophy’s class the past couple of weeks designing and building movable bridges! 🌉 🛥️ Parents may have seen students drafting their plans during Parent Day, and today they proudly demonstrated their finished bridges, including drawbridges, swing bridges, and vertical lift bridges. We loved seeing their creativity, teamwork, and engineering skills come to life! #GiftedAndTalented #STEM #FutureEngineers

This past week in PreK-3, students learned about designing and building. We discussed how a designer first creates a drawing or blueprint of an idea and then shares it with a builder, who uses the plan to construct the design. To explore this concept, students first took on the role of designers by drawing blueprints of machines they wanted to create. They carefully planned their ideas on paper, thinking about the different parts their machines would need. Once their blueprints were complete, students became the builders. Using pool noodles and shaving cream as building materials, they worked to bring their designs to life. This hands-on activity allowed students to practice planning, creativity, and problem-solving while seeing how their drawings could turn into real structures.We had a lot of fun learning about designing and building and watching our creative machines come to life!
