Students in Ms. Halversen’s third grade class at Susan E. Wiley Elementary School recently completed a leprechaun trap STEM and English Language Arts project. Students wrote profiles about their leprechaun. Next, they planned their leprechaun trap designs and wrote a “how-to” report. Lastly, they created their leprechaun traps using various materials. They hope to catch a leprechaun before St. Patrick’s Day!

Fifth graders in Ms. Harned’s class at Susan E. Wiley Elementary School recently combined a literacy lesson with a STEM-based activity that went round and round. As a class, the students read, “Mr. Ferris and his Wheel,” a biography about how the Ferris wheel was invented. Working in pairs, the students were then tasked with creating their own freestanding Ferris wheel. Some of the materials they could use included paper plates, pipe cleaners, straws, Popsicle sticks, Play-Doh and tape. The students sketched their designs and then went to work creating a wheel. For an added bonus, the students tried to get their wheels to spin.
