Last week, our 5th grade science students participated in a Design Challenge. Students were faced with the problem of dropping a vehicle from 1 to 2 feet while keeping their marshmallow aliens in the cup without falling out. They had to consider the constraints and criteria of the challenge when designing their vehicle, as well as practice collaborative skills. Overall, they all had fun regardless of whether or not the vehicles met the goal.

In the spirit of the big MSU vs. U of M game this past Saturday, Ms. Cereske's 5th grade students competed and played “football”, reading class style, to represent their favorite team. The students discussed what it meant to be a good sport and practiced sportsmanship while reviewing what they've learned so far during their novel study on the book, “Insignificant Events In The Life of A Cactus”. Students had a lot of fun working as a team to get first downs, and they even scored a couple of touchdowns for each team!

Our 4th grade students had the opportunity to learn about how electrical energy is created and delivered. Some even acted as parts of the electrical system in order to demonstrate how power is generated at a Consumers Energy plant. In addition, every 4th grader got to take home their own energy saving kit!

Mrs. Quast’s 3rd grade class and Mr. Eaton’s 4th grade music classes were captured performing their original compositions in “Composition Fest”. After watching STOMP, students came up with their own rhythms and melodies using various instruments and found sound objects in the classroom. There were a variety of musical styles and some very creative use of instruments and newly found sound objects! Fun was had by all, and the students were literal rockstars!
