Third Grade Paper Airplane Competition!
Our third graders took learning to new heights during their Paper Airplane Competition! After completing a lesson on flight and learning how airplanes work, students followed a Mystery Science lesson to build their own paper airplanes.
Over the course of a week, students had the opportunity to test, modify, decorate, and improve their airplane designs before the big competition. They used what they learned about flight to make adjustments and see how different designs affected performance.
Competition day was filled with excitement as students put their creations to the test and cheered on their classmates. It was a wonderful way to combine science, engineering, creativity, and fun while reinforcing the engineering design process.

STEM Learning in Action at P. J. Keating!
Our 4th grade students had an incredible opportunity to visit P.J. Keating's rock quarry and experience real-world STEM learning firsthand!
Students participated in hands-on activities, including cookie mining, which taught them about the mining process while practicing problem-solving and engineering skills. They also toured the quarry and got an up-close look at the equipment used in the industry.
One of the highlights of the day was receiving their very own hard hats and exploring the quarry as young scientists and engineers!
A huge thank you to P. J. Keating for being such a wonderful community partner and for providing our students with an engaging and memorable learning experience.
