Yesterday, my 5th grade STEM students celebrated their Energy of Life, end of unit project!!!! I’m incredibly impressed at how wonderful they came out and at how hard these almost 6th graders (!!!!) worked!!!!🐸🦂🦋🤍💓

2nd graders are “building a beast…” they are creating their very own animal and deciding what type of habitat it lives in, what kind of climate it lives in, predators and prey and SO much more!!!! Stay tuned for the final product!🥰

Thankful for you 😂 and I love it
