Salem School District -

Mrs. Bruni's second graders started a new unit in Math this week! They worked hard to count Jack's magic beans by understanding that 100 can be grouped by tens. Each group of students counted one cup full of beans by grouping them, then they added all of their groups together. Their big bag of magic beans contained 1,210!!

Our 7th and 8th grade STEAM students took on an exciting challenge—designing and racing their very own sail cars! The assignment started with brainstorming and sketching their car designs, followed by using TinkerCad software to bring their ideas to life in a 3D model. After learning how 3D printers work, they printed their cars right here at school. The students then tested and raced their creations, competing in a thrilling tournament to see who built the fastest car. Check out this photo of our top 8th grade racers who placed the highest! 🏎️🏁 #SalemSchoolFalcons #STEAMChallenge #SailCars #3DPrinting #TinkerCad
