🌟 STEM Day Success! 🌟

What an incredible day of learning, exploring, and hands-on fun at Livingston Elementary! Our students were fully engaged and absolutely loved every session. From robotics to beavers, migration games to marble roller coasters—curiosity and creativity were everywhere!

A huge thank you to all of our amazing presenters and partners for making today possible, especially our friends at the University of Wyoming and Dr. Karagh Brummond for helping bring this opportunity to life.

Students experienced an amazing lineup of STEM sessions, including:
🦫 Wyoming Wildlife Federation – Learning all about beavers, their habitats, and how they build dams.
🦌 Wyoming Game & Fish – Exploring animal migration and how barriers affect movement.
🐻 Cody Conservation District – Discovering how bears prepare for hibernation through hyperphagia!
🎨 Trout Unlimited – Creating traditional Japanese Gyotaku fish prints.
🐏 National Bighorn Sheep Center – Learning about the life and importance of Wyoming’s bighorn sheep.
🤖 UW Innovation Workshop Makerspace – Exploring robotics and how they impact our daily lives.
🧭 Elsa Freise (UW Science Initiative Roadshow) – Creating compasses to explore magnetism.
🎢 Austin Bernard (UW Science Initiative Roadshow) – Building marble roller coasters to study physics and energy.
💎 Nancy Weinheimer (UW Science Initiative Roadshow) – Testing and identifying minerals like real geologists.
💧 Lilian Jones (UW Science Initiative Roadshow) – Experiencing the water cycle through a fun dice game.
🍎 Erik Gwaltney (UW Science Initiative Roadshow) – Walking through the digestive system with an interactive model.
❤️ Madison Ruhman (UW Science Initiative Roadshow) – Exploring the cardiovascular system and learning how the heart works.
🌲 Teton Science School and Austin Conklin from Northwest College – Bringing even more exciting hands-on learning to our students!

We are so thankful for the partnerships that make these experiences possible. Days like this spark curiosity, inspire future scientists, and make learning come alive at Livingston Elementary! 💡💛 #LivyROCKS #WearePark6

📚 First grade loved having Miss Holly Baker from the Cody Public Library visit for their monthly story time! Thanks for sharing your love of reading with us!

Our RISE classroom and Adaptive PE class had an amazing time fishing today with some wonderful high school helpers! 🎣 We’re so grateful for our teachers who make the most of Wyoming’s natural beauty. 🌄

🐮 5th Grade Field Trip Fun! 🎃
Our 5th grade classes from Livingston Elementary spent the morning with our amazing community partners at Y-Tex!

Students toured the facility and learned about all the steps involved in creating cattle tags — from design to production. They even took part in a friendly “race” to see who could fill a bag with 25 cattle tags the fastest! 🏁

Along the way, students got to see massive machinery, 3D printers, and other high-tech equipment in action.

A huge thank-you to Y-Tex for giving each student a personalized ear tag and a Halloween goodie bag! 👏🎃

In STREAM, our 4th graders became designers! 🎨 Using Tinkercad, they created their own 3D name tags—and the best part was watching their ideas come to life on the printer! 🖨️✨

Our 4th graders missed a dress-up day while on their field trip last week, so today we made up for it with Toddler Day! 🍼✏️ Big story problems with crayons, stickers, and primary paper made learning extra fun!

📚❤️ Reading is better together! Mrs. Van Antwerp & Mrs. Peterson’s classes enjoyed some library time sharing stories and books.
