Our 4th and 5th-grade students recently completed a fun and educational STEM project where they built bridges out of popsicle sticks and glue! This hands-on activity helped them explore important concepts like measurements, engineering design, and how to distribute weight across a structure.

The second graders completed a unit on pioneers. Students learned about their journey on a covered wagon and how and why sod houses were built on the prairie. They used Discovery Packs from The Old Courthouse Museum to see examples of pioneer tools and clothing, and they played pioneer games.
