Westar STEM 2017

The 5th grade is learning about drip irrigation systems and how they are more beneficial to our environment and oceans. This was an awesome start to our Science unit on plants and a great connection to an article that we read from our Wonders Smart Start Unit. This will further be followed up as we continue reading our novel, Esperanza Rising.

Mrs. Starr's class had a guest reader from Estrella Foothills High School.
