Several grants were implemented during the past month and we are excited to share some details below. Enjoy!
Smith Brothers Insurance Grant: 3,2,1 LEGO!
This grant provided lots of fun and learning as the students designed and raced cars they built from LEGOs. The students explored science concepts for force and motion as they tested their cars to determine their speed and had several opportunities to problem solve and rebuild the cars to improve their initial designs. Watch the video below to see who had the fastest car!
Paul H. Eddy & Elizabeth Normen Grant: Appreciating Native American Culture and Birds of Prey
Students experienced and met live and rehabilitated birds of prey, also known as raptors. These experiences, not available through books or internet research, brought learning to life for this group of third graders!
