Buzz

A mural in the pollinator garden at the environmental connections magnet school.

And yes, there were a lot of buzzing bees.

 

Theme day: School

 This month's theme is School

This could be the hallway of just about any school in America.  

It's Broughton High School, built in 1929 as Raleigh High school, the oldest high school in Raleigh.

Root and STEM

STEM programs (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) are very much the rage now in education, although the latest are being called STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) 

I subbed for 3 months in a high school program that was fantastic.  The students were learning college level programming, digital electronics and Engineering technology.  I'm not sure how that translates into elementary school, but I couldn't resist this sign. 

 Root elementary school is a STEM magnet.
