1:43 The STEM Club put their engineering skills to the test in a Storm Drain Rescue STEM Challenge!

Students were tasked with designing and building a tool to retrieve an object stuck at the bottom of a “storm drain” — without removing the grate or reaching inside. Using only simple materials, teams planned, built, tested, and improved their designs just like real engineers.

00:21 Phonemic Awareness Activity with Mrs. Caracozza!

Today, in small group, we worked on phonemic awareness and phonics skills by segmenting and blending sounds using interactive tools and manipulatives. By tapping out sounds, matching letters, and building words, we strengthened our understanding of how sounds come together to form words. This multi-sensory approach keeps learning fun, engaging, and meaningful, helping students build strong foundational reading skills while staying motivated and confident. 🧠💡

1:54 Pick-A-Project

Grade 3 Room 9 Our students are loving EnVision Math’s Pick-A-Project! They get to choose how they show their learning by creating projects like reports on money, favorite athletes, designing a library, and even creating their own math games! 🏀💰🎲 Choice, creativity, and math skills all in one—learning is fun when students lead the way! 💡📐

00:32 STEM Club students took on a tricky challenge

Create an optical illusion that looks like it’s moving—and prove what’s really happening.
Students took measurements, and discovered the difference between real motion and motion our brains only think we see. They didn’t just create, they measured, tested, and revised their illusions until there was visible movement.
