EDP - The Engineering Design Process was introduced as third and fourth graders worked their way through STEAM challenges. Following the five step process, third graders followed a unit on land forms with a challenge that focused on erosion. Fourth grade used the same process as they built authentic replicas of Cherokee villages.
Third, fourth and fifth graders met in the media center once a week for clubs. They used board games to focus on pattern recognition, problem solving, critical thinking, code breaking and code making. We are excited to add more games next year and start earlier in the year so that younger grades can be included, as well.
