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! ❤️❤️
Anyone ready for some Turkey? Just in time for Thanksgiving, Tower's 2nd grade STEM Club created Turkey traps using Vex Kit pieces and learned to code the Sphero Spark+ Robots (our Turkey) to see if their prototype was successful in catching a Turkey.
Disclaimer: No Turkeys were harmed in the creation of these traps.
Today, the Tower 4th Grade STEM Club students began to learn to read instruction manuals and construct their Lego Mindstorm Robots! Students will be coding these robots to perform different tasks and challenges!
Tower 1st and 2nd grade students had a blast visiting the Planetarium set up in our gym. It is a joy of mine to provide authentic learning experiences for students to make life long learning connections and memories. ❤️
Tower Elementary will proudly host a Planetarium Exhibit tomorrow to provide authentic learning experience for our students in 1st and 2nd grade who have studied or are currently studying SPACE in STEM class.

Additionally, any students who have enrolled with us since that date will also have their pictures taken.
