Madison Elementary School

Madison 4th graders learned about different kinds of rocks and fossils. This program was led by imi Construction through a Zoom Meeting. They taught the students about sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. This was a hands-on activity as students had their own rock collection that they could take home! #WarsawInspires

Mrs. Kelly's Kindergarteners were 3 Little Pig Architects. They learned about what an architect does, and then they planned, built, and tested their homes. Students used toothpicks, popsicle sticks, or small sponges to resemble straw, sticks, and bricks. Then the Big Bad Leaf Blower tried to Huff and Puff them down! #WarsawInspires

Madison 6th graders learned about 3D printing and the differences between 2 and 3 dimensional objects in the STEM Lab. They used Tinkercad software to design a nametag using text, holes, and geometric shapes as well as converting millimeters to centimeters to predict the size of their project. #WarsawInspires
