RMS Spanish 1 students enjoyed the Kagan strategy "inside outside circles."
Students greeted each partner, asked for favorite colors, told their own favorite color, and bid each other farewell. ALL in Spanish. Mrs. Gardner witnessed a lot of encouragement between partners and teams! Great job!
Fourth grade STEAM students started off their physics unit by designing and building a rocket out of legos. They will learn about potential and kinetic energy, as well as how gravity affects the movement of certain objects. Way to go fourth grade engineers!! 🚀
Fifth grade STEAM students started out their Force and Motion unit by designing and building a Lego car. They used the engineering process to ask, imagine, plan, create, test, and improve their cars. They will apply what they learned from the Lego car challenge to construct a car made completely out of pasta! Great job 5th grade engineers! 🚗
Mrs. Buchanan’s 5th grade math students kicked off their first math lesson of the year by using the Kagan strategy “Showdown!” to review place value.

If they felt they fit the qualifications, they lifted the sticky note to reveal the name of a potential friend!
