Girls on the Run is so much fun!

Mrs. Plebanek's science class enjoyed learning how longitudinal and transverse waves move by using the slinky model. They made "high pitch" waves, "low pitch" waves, "loud" waves, and "quiet" waves.

The fifth grade IMSA group measured and marked out the size of a standard shipping container on the hallway floor. Once they could visualize the space, the students brain-stormed ideas for repurposing used shipping containers and began sketching their ideas.

Mrs. Brown's fourth graders had fun learning about kinetic and potential energy today!

Congratulations to our fourth grade February VIPs!
