Fourth grade students enjoyed their Dress for A Mess activity today with Mrs. Phipps and Mr. Justice. This week’s activity was a STEM project that was inspired by a book from the I Survived series. Mr. Justice has allowed Mrs. Phipps to read to his fourth grade students this week. The text they were read was based on the devastation that occurred in Pompeii. Students were challenged to use LEGOS to create a city. After students created their city a volcano was placed within the city limits. Our fourth graders enjoyed watching their volcanoes erupt. We discussed the architecture of ancient Rome, the importance of emergency management, and evacuation strategies. This project would not have been successful without the support from our kitchen staff and our custodian, Mr. Bailey. STC staff member, Brittney Boyd provided additional support in photographing and videoing this fun activity.
