Mrs. Varner’s 3rd graders are on the move… and learning about FRICTION! 🏎️✨ We discovered how friction can slow things down by testing a smooth ramp vs. a sandpaper ramp to see how far our toy cars would travel! 📏 We measured, recorded our data, and will be graphing our results next. Big thanks to Officer Wright for helping us measure like pros! 👏📊 Hands-on learning at its best! 🐺

We kicked off our first Beta Club meeting this week! Students learned about the four pillars of Beta, talked about how to be positive role models in our school, and began brainstorming ideas for our spring service project.
