Today was the last day of the 2020.2021 school year. Although it was a unique year, we still were able to accomplish much learning. We said our goodbyes for the summer. The good news is there are only 89 days to the start of next school year!!! #tatankaSTEMToday

The fifth grade students completed their egg drop today. Due to COVID, the students worked on their projects individually. The students identified different strategies using parachutes or a variety of packaging materials. No one method worked all the time. #tatankaSTEM
