More Cob Towers!

In our 5th grade Social Studies classes we have been learning about the Ancient Mesoamerican Civilizations such as the Maya, Inca, and Aztecs. The students were presented with a stem challenge over what they have learned about these civilizations. They were able to choose between building a 3D structure from one of the civilizations, making an ancient calendar or creating one of three different types of Mayan masks. The students had two weeks to follow the stem process of research, design and then creating their project. They were able to research and design at school and then create their project at home. The students did a fantastic job and were definitely up to the challenge!

Ms Sam & Ms Shelley’s preschool class spent the week learning about vegetables. They finished up the week of learning with a feast of vegetable soup that was made from their vegetables. Fresh bread was also served. The feast ended with a yummy pumpkin dessert that each preschooler made. It was fun for all to share the feast as a preschool family!
