We are inspired by our Mount Vernon Community of students, families, and staff who are showing great resilience, determination, and creativity to stay connected with one another and to support student learning. Their efforts to continue to make Every Day Count during this unprecedented time are amazing!
Teaching & Learning staff are excited to share resources and ideas for staying connected and supporting student learning. Students are likely to hear from their classmates, teachers, and school sites with ways to stay engaged. Maintaining our sense of community supports our social-emotional health and will help each of us to remain engaged in learning. We hope you engage with and enjoy the ideas we post on our Every Day Counts! student learning blog. Stay tuned--we plan to begin posting on Monday, March 23rd!
Many of the resources we will be sharing are available to all students via the MV TECHSMART K-12 DIGITAL LITERACY site.

5-14-2020 Family STEM Challenges: Make a Rube Goldberg Machine
STEM Challenges are fun and a great way to learn new things. There are many challenges that can be done at your home with things around the house. Need some ideas. Here is a list of 77 ideas for Family STEM Activities. One of my favorite ideas is to make a Rube Goldberg Machine. I love this activity because you can use ANYTHING to make it. And you can keep on adding on to make for even more fun and changing.
Check out this TED Talk by OKGo. This band is incredibly creative and makes some amazing Rube Goldberg Machines in their music videos. In the Ted Talk they share how to come up with good ideas.
