STEM Student Spotlight! βοΈ
Every Thursday we are shining the spotlight on one student from each grade, which means by the end of the year you will have met every single student at the STEM Academy! This weekβs three were drawn at random, and we loved every second of talking with them.
π Kim, 3rd grade
Kim is reading Grandma and the Great Gourd, sharpening her multiplication facts, and learning all about lab safety. She is brand new to the Academy, and when we asked what she likes best, she lit up and said everything! One day she wants to be a detective. And the thing she is proudest of? Being accepted into the Academy. π
π Gunner, 4th grade
Gunner is exploring different types of energy in science, diving into biographies and autobiographies in reading, and mastering the place value chart in math. His favorite part of the Academy is easy: the projects, because the projects are fun! Gunner is dreaming of becoming a forensic investigator, and he is proud of all of his achievements.
π John, 5th grade
John is working on prefixes and suffixes in reading, studying the different types of soil in science, and tackling multiplication and division of decimals in math. When he grows up, he is headed for the big leagues as an MLB player! βΎ Ask him what he is proudest of and the answer is simple: being part of STEM.
We could not be prouder of these three! Give them a big shout out in the comments! π
