Learners demonstrate STEM literacy outcomes that prepare them for the next level of learning and work.
Preparing for the Future
At Munford Elementary School, we strive to provide students with experiences that connect to future opportunities. For example, our STEAM Career Day ends in a student survey where students are allowed input into what STEAM Careers are showcased for the next time. Also, teachers were provided a checklist for lesson planning to ensure that they are including Real World opportuntiies for students.
Kindergarten Manufacturing Day with Munford Middle School Career Tech Students and Staff
The kindergarten teachers at Munford Elementary have earned a today in Career Tech 101! They shared their classrooms so we could set up a Munford Elementary Tree Factory and spent the morning on a Christmas Tree assembly line. At the end of the day the students learned how everyone has to work together to create a fabulous final product.
This was an initiative to introduce career tech vocabulary to kindergarten. We invited the middle school FBLA, county career coaches, and community guests to help with the project.
We are now going to try a similar project with PreK in January: Let’s Build a Snowman! https://youtu.be/TeQ_TTyLGMs

Community Innovation Showcase
Community Innovation Showcase
On Thursday, May 2, 2024 all three Munford Schools showcased innovation and leanring with a community showcase. Students in every grade level presented about Project Based Learning (PBL), STEAM, and the Engineering Design Process (EDP). Students had the opportunity to share with parents and community members, as well as other students and teachers, and representatives from the Talladega County Board of Education about all of their learning experiences. It was truly a showcase of learning! Please click here to see more photos from the Innovation Showcase.
4th Grade Cow Eyeball Dissection Day
4th Grade Cow Eyeball Dissection Day
One of the annual highlights in the fourth-grade curriculum is the cow eyeball dissection, serving as the culminating activity for the Science unit exploring the anatomical components of the eyeball. Anticipated with enthusiasm by students, this experiential learning opportunity allows them to integrate their theoretical understanding of ocular structures, reinforced through mnemonic devices such as songs (see left), and hands-on simulations conducted during class sessions. Subsequently, students demonstrate their comprehension and skills by engaging in the dissection of an authentic cow eyeball, thus solidifying their grasp of ocular anatomy and physiology.
