5th grade ACE students are currently in the progress of building toothpick bridges. As a part of a unit on engineering, students formed their own construction companies to act as architects, accountants, and carpenters. They had to design a bridge, buy supplies, and then construct it. Students will test the strength of their bridges in a culminating competition with their classmates to see whose can hold the most weight!
Students in Mrs. Sisk's 3rd grade class learned about simple machines and worked in a small group to create their own!

Mrs. Houser's class read the book "Just a Minute!" by Teddy Slater. The students participated in different activities for a minute each. They were excited to see how many times they could do each activity within a minute (writing their name, jumping jacks, leg lifts, etc.) We look forward to learning to tell time and incorporating more exercise into our lessons.
