  3rd and 4th Grade Cooking and Construction Remake Learning Day

  Students had the opportunity to learn with their hands and develop their creativity. During the cooking station, students learned about the herbs and produce in our garden and used a variety of materials to make vegetable pizza, pasta salad and fresh fruit and dip.

  During the construction stations, students used a variety of materials to create various objects using our AccuCut-GrandeMARK system to create beach balls, umbrella and windmills. Students also had to use materials to build marble race tracks, card castles and foil floats.

  Special thanks to the following staff members and organizations for making this event possible.
