๐ฑ๐ Growing Minds in STEAM at SCES! ๐๐ฑ
A huge thank you to the Spencer County Conservation District Board for the generous grant that is bringing hands-on learning to life in our STEAM classes! ๐โจ
Our Cubs have been digging into real-world science and agriculture in exciting ways:
๐ช 2nd grade explored soil types, weathering, and erosion
๐ 3rd grade investigated plant life cycles, pollinators, and environmental stewardship
๐๐บ Garden Club discovered the magic of composting (yesโฆ they made a banana disappear!) and used nutrient-rich soil to plant beautiful Motherโs Day flowers
Through these experiences, our students are growing as Engaged Citizens, Problem Solvers, and Empowered Learnersโmaking meaningful connections to the world around them. ๐๐ก
Weโre so grateful for community partners who help our Cubs love, learn, and lead while connecting to the land and resources around them! ๐พ๐
