It's #NationalSTEMDay and we are so excited to celebrate the amazing lessons that are going on in Mrs. Salway's classes. Here's a sneak peek into her STEM classroom... In this lesson, fifth grade students explore how incredibly salty the ocean is, even though we can't see the salt! In the activity, Tiny Ocean, students create a model ocean to observe how salt seems to completely vanish when dissolved in water. Students then measure and graph quantities of the water and salt to provide evidence that, even though we can’t see it, the salt still weighs the same amount. Students also create a model salt flat, allowing the water to evaporate, leaving the salt behind.

Tomorrow is Make-Up Picture Day for any student that missed the original date. Please come dressed in your best and ready to smile!

We can't wrap up #NationalPrincipalsMonth without giving a shoutout to Mr. Daugherty! Mr. Daugherty is caring, compassionate, and is always looking for new ways to make our school even better. He greets our students and staff each morning with a smile and is always making us laugh. TRE is so lucky to have him! Thank you for all that you do Mr. Daugherty!
