Aylesworth Elementary STEM
Third grade recently did a grade level STEM activity. Mrs. Hufford, Mrs. Bolin, and I put on a small play about the gingerbread man escaping a wolf. He came across a river and couldn’t figure out how to cross it. The students had to build a boat that wouldn’t sink. They were given limited supplies and had to work as a team to accomplish this task.
