Mrs. Madsen's 6th Grade Science Enrichment class finally completed their March/April Madness Bridge Building Competition!
Groups built 8 different bridges from K'Nex and engaged them in a head-to-head load bearing competition. The winning bridge type was the Short Span Beam which held 17,655 grams of steel weights! That's 38.9 lbs! Thanks to Mr. Gross and Wertzbaugher Services for the extra steel needed to fully test these bridges.
Groups were then assigned one of the four weakest bridges and had to re-engineer them to hold more weight, using what they had learned about bridge supports. So much STEM FUN!

On Friday students read about 5 de Mayo in Spanish World Cultures and Spanish Literacy during Ms.Fernandez’s 7th grade classes.
They learned that 5 de Mayo is not Mexico‘s Independence Day, it is to celebrate Mexican Culture. Some enjoyed chips and salsa from Puebla Restaurant!
6th graders learned about an Inca counting tool called a Quipu. Students then had the opportunity to make their own Quipus about their lives.
This week's ABC countdown days!
Tonight will be our final performance! If you haven't been to see Once Upon A Mattress you have one more chance at 7:00 pm tonight! We hope to see you there!
