Students at OAK GROVE ELEMENTARY recently made ice cream after reading the book, "Ice Cream Summer." The ice cream project was a reward for 4th graders and Dr. Justin Luttrell, PCSSD Director of STEM, joined the class. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
MILLS MIDDLE scholars in Mr. Jackson's science class completed a "STEM IS LIT" project based off the book "One Grain of Rice." The protagonist earns a reward from the Raja for a good deed. Instead of riches, she asks for one grain of rice, doubled everyday for a month. Unbeknownst to the Raja, this request allowed her to feed her entire village. Scholars used critical thinking and problem-solving to complete the calendar. The final result was a number in the BILLIONS! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
