Teachers are turning their homes into remote classrooms. Students are collaborating.
Our Vision:
The STREAM committee is dedicated to developing a program that is inquiry based and that will develop students into confident, self-directed learners. In a safe and supportive environment our students will be engaged in a group problem solving with applicable solutions that develops independent thinking while fostering collaboration. Students will have opportunities to gain read world experience through community partnerships and internships. Our goal is to combine science, technology, research, engineering, art, and mathematics to prepare our students to be Life Ready.

What’s STREAMing at...
Cooke, & KLR
Cooke
The music teacher at Cooke, Mrs. Clayton, is teaching her music classes two songs. They are both about different environments. "A Hole in the Bottom of the Sea" is about ocean animals! "Oh, In the Woods" is about how different parts of the environment are connected by a food chain. Here are the links to listen for yourself:
KLR
KLR's annual STREAM Fair was supposed to take place on April 1st. While it's disappointing that we could not hold this fun event and all its activities in school, students continued to work on their projects at home. Using the Engineering Design Process, they created some amazing projects and presented them using Microsoft Teams. Another challenge was to use materials that they had at home due to the shelter in place orders. Students used and/or reused regular household items and repurposed them in order to solve a problem. Over twenty 5th graders participated in the FAIR. KUDOS to everyone on a job well done!
RJK Middle School
While working at home during this pandemic students and teachers have been using many different means of technology to learn and communicate. Students are working hard on assignments and attending video conferences where teachers can assist them with educational questions.
Illustrating proportions on poster paper using mathematical and art skills.
Using measuring skills to layout of a proportional grid.
Using mechanical leverage to tighten a fan belt on a classic car.
Using art skills to make a blanket.

Principle of Health Science students are busy making children's storybooks. The purpose of the storybook is to educate elementary students on disease transmission, disease prevention, germs, or the importance of immunizations. We will be sharing these with our elementary teachers around the end of May.
SUPA Forensics took a virtual trip to the Body Farm in Knoxville, Tennessee to learn how insects, mushrooms, and pollen/spores can help solve forensic cases. We couldn't do our traditional Maggots to Murder Lab since we are remotely learning. Normally, students would be given different colored lanyards of varying lengths to represent the different species of insects at different growth stages. In order to improvise for remote learning students were emailed a document containing different colored lines of varying lengths representing the various species. They collaborated in small groups and determined the post mortem index ( time since death) for 4 different cases.
GIZMOS are a great way to incorporate laboratory in our remote learning setting.
