News from Mrs. Sturtz's class: Mrs. Sturtz's kindergarten class along with their jr. high STEM class buddies made Mayflower ships. Each team got one foam paper plate and masking tape. The rules were the plate could not stay in its original form. After everyone was done making their ship we placed the ship in water to see if it would float. If their ship floated they got to put pilgrims (pennies) in their boat. The team whose boat would hold the most pilgrims would win the competition. The winning team was Maclin and Gavin. Their Mayflower held 153 pilgrims (pennies)! In December we will meet with our STEM buddies again and do a Santa parachute drop project.
The cooks joined in on a couple of Mrs. McCollom's elementary music classes today and did the "Gobble, Gobble, Turkey Wobble" with students!
