Check out our amazing students in action in the STEM Lab with Mrs. Knowles. Second-grade students are learning and discovering things about the properties of matter. Third-grade students are using thermometers to read the temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius. The temperature is HOT, HOT, HOT! The leaders of our building, the fifth-graders, are learning about physical changes. Transformers:StrongerTogether

Stem Lab is off to a great start with Mrs. Knowles! Third, fourth, and fifth-graders started by signing safety contracts. They then moved on to team-building exercises, where they had to communicate and work through a task within a given time frame. These transformers are on their way to becoming scientists and great communicators.  #Transformers:StrongerTogether
