Noetic Math Challenge

 Students at West Elementary have been working hard on challenging math problems for a couple of months.  Students work individually and in small groups to complete the tasks, often well above their grade levels.  Students will take a final test in late November along with students from all over the country.  You are doing great, can't wait to see the final scores!

LEGO Simple Machines

 They may be called "simple machines" but building them with Legos to be operational is another task!  These fourth graders have been working hard to make simple machines do different types of work around the classroom.  Students have learned that simple machines are used everyday in our lives and especially in the workforce around town.

ISU Girls STEM Conference

 Students from the Junior/Senior High School were able to attend the ISU Wise Girls STEM Conference earlier this month.  Students were able to hear a keynote speaker, along with 3 different sessions to attend to further their learning in the field of Science and Engineering.  The sessions were action packed and hands-ons, which made for a great learning environment.
