Earlier this month, our 3rd graders wrapped up their weather and climate unit with some hands-on learning. Students designed, built, decorated, and tested their very own anemometers. ⛅ It was exciting to see their creativity in action as they measured wind speed and explored how weather tools work in the real world. Great job, 3rd grade scientists! 👏

🎉 That’s a wrap on an amazing school year!
