8th Grade Tech and Design students are shrinking the job site down to size in their architecture unit! Our future architects and engineers dove into the world of residential design by constructing models. To keep things precise, they worked at a 3/4" = 1' scale, which means for every 3/4 inch on their model, there is one full foot of real-world space!
Seeing these designs move from a 2D sketch to a 3D model was incredible. Each student was responsible for measuring and building one wall for their group model. From roof pitches to door placements, our students mastered the fundamentals of construction one inch (or 3/4 inch!) at a time!

1st graders wrapped up their Social Studies unit "Who Works At Your School?" by interviewing someone who works inside MES to learn more about their job and how they help the school. Students prepared interview questions that would help them better learn about the job, invited their guests to a class period, and asked their guest the interview questions. Each class then created a riddle with three clues about the work the special person does for the other classes to guess who the person might be! Students finished the project by writing thank you notes to their MES worker telling him or her how they help the school.
