SLWK8 students in Ms. Boham’s STEM class explored careers in construction by building houses, adding lighting, and 1-point perspective drafting of an interior room.

They followed a template to make precise cuts, making walls and roof pieces to assemble their standing structure. Students then added paint and lighting to their 1-point perspective drawing to finish the house. We have many talented builders, designers, and drafters!

At Morningside Elementary, learning has a delicious reward! Students in Ms. Moore’s third-grade AMP math classroom worked quickly to build their own pizza 🍕. They correctly answered a certain number of questions in order to”buy” the toppings to make their pizza everything they wanted it to be! Extra cheese? Yes, please! That’ll be another three answers. 😂 Then, Morningside’s amazing cafeteria manager, Ms. Fran, took students on a “behind the scenes” tour of the kitchen so they could bake their tasty snack. Students enjoyed learning and found that it is good to “do the work” in class.
