Memorial Elementary third graders had an amazing day at Ag-Venture last week! Students rotated through fun, engaging stations to learn about the journey of food. They explored a variety of crops, discovered farming processes, and met some friendly animals.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this educational day possible!

Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders at Memorial Elementary took on the ultimate engineering test: The Egg Drop Challenge!

Using only straws, tape, and popsicle sticks, students designed and built contraptions to protect their eggs during a drop test. It was a race against gravity, and the creativity was incredible!

Did their designs survive the fall? We'll let the photos show the results! Great job, everyone, on learning about impact, structure, and design failure/success!

⏰ Tick-Tock, Time to Learn! ⏰
Our 1st and 2nd graders at Memorial Elementary are mastering the art of telling time!

To make the lesson stick, some of our classes got crafty and built their own paper clocks. This hands-on activity helps students visualize the movement of the minute and hour hands, making a tough concept much easier (and more fun!) to understand. Great job, young time-tellers! ⏱️

🔬 We Are All Scientists at Memorial Elementary! 💡
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students crushed their recent STEM challenge! They worked hard to design and build impressive notecard towers 🏗️.

But the learning didn't stop there! Students wrote words and phrases to describe what scientists do, and then we had an important discussion: Because of the investigating and learning they do every day, they are scientists, too!

Take a look at these amazing projects and the future innovators hard at work!
