Some of Mrs. Hipp’s STEM students faced a BIG challenge today at IFly. Students were tasked with a high school level STEM activity where they had to predict their terminal velocity in IFly’s wind tunnel. The IFly instructor recorded their actual terminal velocity & then students had to compare the two values to see how close their prediction was. No doubt students sharpened their #Math & #Science learning, today! 🤨🧐
A special thank you to Coach Scott for driving the bus today and to Ms. Barnett for helping to chaperone the learning with Mrs. Hipp.
Today’s Spotlight is shining on…. Mr. Linz
Mr. Linz’ fellow teachers appreciate his encouraging words for students. “Everytime we have some kind of competition whether sports, UIL, OAP, anything the kids compete in...Mr. Linz sees the students in the hallway and tells them congratulations and what a great job they did, or how proud he is of them. He gives them high fives or a thumbs up! The kids get excited at his efforts and it makes them smile."
Thank you Mr. Linz for being a ray of sunshine to our campus!! Keep shining!!

Students in Mrs. Hipp's 6th Grade Reading class, stepped up to a STEM challenge in correlation with the novel, Number The Stars, this week. Students were presented with the driving question, "Can you construct a basket with a secret compartment that will hide a fabric swatch?" The material list included: 10 Large Index cards, 8 small index cards, a piece of fabric, tape, and scissors. Students could use only the materials given to them and had to work against a time constraint of 30 minutes. They logged their design ideas and engineering data into a STEM project journal.
The inventions were quite impressive!
Those interested in trying out for cheerleader need to sign up in the front office lobby and pick up a handout about mandatory parent meeting dates and times.
