Dillsboro Elementary School's fifth grade students are out of this world! Students used their knowledge from lessons in math and science to practice using various measurement tools. They used rulers, meter sticks, yardsticks, and tape measures to measure out 3,000 centimeters on the gym floor and identified which tool worked the best. They then place models of the planets along tape measures to observe and compare each planet’s distance from the sun. Activities like these help students gain an understanding of scientists' need for astronomical units and have fun while learning!

Third grade students at Dillsboro Elementary School participated in a creative, collaborative Project Lead The Way activity. They explored climate, flooding, weather worries, factors, and hazards. Students discussed hazardous weather conditions and what we practice to stay safe. They then worked in small groups to create and share an informational slideshow and poster about their chosen hazardous weather.

Congratulations to our December student of the month recipients!
