Moretown School Update
October 16, 2015
 |
| Ties ready for the camera |
Moretown Elementary School hosted three professionals on October 15 to tell children in grades K-3 about their jobs and to help answer the question: "Are boys stronger than girls?" The visiting professionals were Vermont Snowplow Truck Operator Ellen St. Marie, State Police Detective Tara Thomas, and Vermont State Trooper, Lindsay O'Steen. The presentation supported the gender stereotype work children are engaged with during their wellness lessons with school counselor, Jason Stevenson. Children heard that being strong is more than just muscle strength.
Children were able to look inside the snowplow truck and cruiser, along with pushing the siren buttons to finish up their time getting to know these women and the important jobs they do that require strength in so many ways.

5th Grade Students complete STE@M board games
Our 5th grade students completed their STE@M game design projects this past week. Students followed the design/build process that any typical engineering would follow. The class mission was to complete a "new" board game that could be played by grade 1 and 2 level students. We have placed a short slide show below to give examples of their finished work. The 5th grade STE@M students will transition next week to understanding solar power and utilizing robotics to complete simple tasks.
