Second graders at Tower are elbow deep in dirt this week as we investigate the causes of erosion in STEM class. Students are using the scientific inquiry process to determine if wind, earthquakes, glaciers (ice), and/or water cause the most erosion. We will use this knowledge to develop an action plan to create a fictional community and design it to have little to no erosion; thus, protecting our fictional community citizens.

Pre-K 4 student have been learning about our healthy eyes! This week in STEM class, we have been creating our very own model of the eye complete with the sclera, iris, and the tiny opening called the pupil. The best type of learning is hands-on learning! Ask your Pre-K 4 student to name each part of the eye! ❤️❤️
