Our first STEM Day was a lot of fun! Building boats out of foil and seeing how many pennies it can hold is a blast! Thank you for all of the reading that is being done at home. We have already passed our 1st 9 week goal of 400 points for the class. I would like to see if we can double it for a grand prize in class. We are currently at 428 points! Way to go!!
