GATE Fair

The GATE Committee has been very busy lately. The annual GATE Fair was Thursday, April 20th. Close to 100 students attended and participated in different activities. Everyone had a wonderful time!

STEAM Symposium

This year was SCCOOE's 2nd annual STEAM Symposium. Teachers from the area attended a two day workshop that included keynote speakers and breakout sessions. One of the breakout sessions was a trip to Payne's steam lab! Teachers watched a fifth grade class and a second grade class participate in STEAM lessons. Here are some pictures of the fifth grade Oil Spill lesson.re

Rock Garden

1st graders at Baker had a beautiful rock ceremony this week. Each student painted a rock to place in their new rock garden.  They sang songs and had a visit from the Baker Bobcat! Look at all their beautiful rocks.
