Get ready for some summer fun with Music in the Park! Mark your calendars and bring your lawn chair to NYA Legion Park! Things kick off this week with Rich Larson and Friends on Thursday, June 12
Free building time in the STEAM room is when students really get to try anything! Here are examples of some of the amazing builds that students completed throughout the last few weeks of the school year. Their creativity is amazing!
Before the end of the year, fourth graders spent time learning about The Titanic with their classroom teachers. As a cumulative project, they created a model of the Titanic during STEAM. This project relied heavily on collaboration, as there were students in both sections of fourth grade working on the model at different times. Other students made models of the different types of rooms found on the ship (first class, second class, and third class). They even created an iceberg to show the demise of the Titanic. It was amazing to see all their hard work, collaboration, and excitement about the topic! Their project will be on display in the STEAM room, so take a look next time you're walking past!
Second graders spent some time designing, creating, and testing bubble wands made from pipe cleaners. It was a fun way to get outside in the beautiful weather while also working through the engineering design process of creating, testing, improving, and sharing their results.

We’re excited to share some end of the year updates from the STEAM Room at Central Elementary School!
To end the year, third graders spent time creating yarn art. After drawing a picture, they filled in with pieces of yarn instead of coloring with markers or crayons. This project required a lot of patience and gave practice with their hand-eye coordination. The ending projects turned out fantastic!

The Central Elementary School Track & Field Day turned into an Indoor Activity Day due to the weather but it was still a ton of fun! Second Grade Ms. Ackermann summed up the day well:
"A huge pat on the back to Darrin Fox and Charlie Gove and to those behind the scenes that supported you in making this happen. I don't think we could have asked for better. The joy, energy, and enthusiasm in our hallways was definitely something to celebrate. Everyone went home tired and happy. Our kids worked hard and gave us so many wins this year. Thanks for giving them a chance to play hard. Bad weather isn't anything to a Raider!"
