We have been doing a lot of building and creating since the start of the school year! Kindergarten and young five students have been working with lots of hands on materials at centers! Thank you to the PTO for funds to add some wikki stix, magnatiles, and play dough to our materials collection! Students are loving the creative play! First and second graders have been working in small groups to play an "offline" coding game in order to learn how to program computers! There is a lot of critical thinking, communication, and collaboration happening during this time. They have also started coding in Scratch, Jr.
Fifth graders are working in groups with VEX robotics kits to learn how the electronic components work.
Third graders are working in groups with VEX construction kits to build simple machines. This week they were working on wheel and axles.
Kindergarteners read The 3 Little Pigs and worked with a partner to design and build houses to keep the pigs safe!
5th graders begin building robots.
