Plumb Beach

Third Graders returned to Plumb Beach for the Fall Clean-up.  A Social Action Event that has been taking place since 1990--almost 30 years.

Steve Wilson came back from retirement to help lead.  Even though it was his birthday.  Or should I say, because it was his birthday.  

Thanks to Justin Weiner for his amazing photos.

Full STEAM Ahead

Second graders figured out how to move heavy loads...They were given a problem.  They had to plan.  Then try out an idea after agreeing on what to try first.

Given a plank--lift up three large blocks.  (A few created a catapult!  Yikes.)

Given pipes, blocks, and faucets...get water to  the planters 4 feet away.

Given rollers move a crate down the schoolyard track...

Given planks, move a crate up the staircase without carrying it.
