Our Discovery team is ready for our first SPARK (STEM, PE, Art, Rhythm, and Knowledge) Awards ✨️ 🎉 @NISDFranklinES @NISDSTEMLabs #KFEDiscoveryteam

Had a fabulous Meet the Teacher night! We are ready for Monday! 🎉 @NISDFranklinES #kfeproud #KFEDiscoveryTeam

Kfe Discovery team kicked off Read Across America week dressed as Waldo (from Where's Waldo? books) for our Book Character Parade 🤗 @NISDFranklinES #kfediscoveryteam #whereswaldo #ReadAcrossAmerica #bookcharacterparade #nisdfranklines

4th grade has been in their manufacturing design unit and designed a Keychain and engineered a backscratcher that could reach scratch in the middle of their backs #kfedicoveryteam #nisdkayfranklin #nisdstemlabs

My Kinder civil engineers had a problem. They had roads with no traffic signs! They had to plan with their team, which traffic signs/lights were needed and where and then add them to their maps. #kfediscoveryteam #nisdstemlabs #kfeproud

1st graders @NISDFranklinES started their Environmental Engineering unit and designed bird feeders to help birds in the cold weather find food ❤️🐦 #nisdstemlabs #KFEstem #nisdstemlabs #careerexplorations

My Kinder students started their Civil Engineering unit 🎉 They had to work together to build a bridge to help animals get across the river. #KFEstem #nisdfranklines @NISDFranklinES #nisdstemlabs

So much fun being Beanie Babies! Adults knew what we were but kids just thought we were stuffies ❤️ #halloween 🎃#kfediscoveryteam #kfeproud

Our kiddos did great showcasing some of the amazing things we do at @NISDFranklinES 🎉 #nisdexpo #nisdfranklines #gopublic

2nd and 3rd grades ended the school year with a teamwork challenge. Some valuables fell into "storm drains" and teams had to plan and engineer a tool(s) to retrieve them. @NISDSTEMLabs #teamwork #collaboration #stem #nisdfranklines

5th graders manufactured acrylic phone stands from our @PaxPatLearning Manufacturing Production lessons. They had to choose the design, measure and mark their acrylic, and heat and bend their acrylic according to the design template @NISDSTEMLabs @NISDFranklinES #KFEDiscoveryTeam

4th grade finished their manufacturing design unit with the I Want A New Room challenge. Students had to imagine and create a floor plan of their ideal bedroom and then create the 3d model in @tinkercad 🎉 #stem #nisdstemlabs #nisdfranklines #kfediscoveryteam

Kinder and 1st grades have had to help save their "friends" from the lava during their last team challenge of the year, The Floor is Lava challenge 🌋 #teamwork @nisdstemlabs @NISDFranklinES #stem #thefloorislava

Field Day 2024 ....✔️ #WeSurvived #ExhaustedDiscoveryTeam #fieldday #nisdfranklines

My 2nd grades finished up their Structural Engineering unit by learning about cantilevers. They had the challenge to work in teams to construct the longest cantilever using the least amount of blocks. @NISDFranklinES @NISDSTEMLabs #kfediscoveryteam

My 3rd grade mechanical engineers had to work in teams to design and improve a scribble bot! @NISDFranklinES @NISDSTEMLabs #stemeducation #stem #kfeproud #kfediscoveryteam

My 2nd graders have been learning about structural engineering. They had the 3 Little Pig Challenge to design and build a structure that won't be blown down by the wolf (my fan). @NISDFranklinES @NISDSTEMLabs #stem #kfediscoveryteam

3rd grade has been learning about mechanical engineering and got to engineer a spin art wheel using circuits. Thanks @TheMadSTEMLab for the great idea! @NISDFranklinES #nisdstemlabs #kfeproud #kfediscoveryteam #STEM #STEAM

It's finally here!!! 🌚🌕🌖🌗🌑 We are lucky to be in the path of totality for the solar eclipse! 🎉 Students got to make a solar eclipse slider to demonstrate what happens during a solar eclipse 🌚🌕🌑 @NISDFranklinES @NISDSTEMLabs #solareclipse2024 #kfediscoveryteam
