17-18 Week 24


It was a wonderful week of STEAM and especially Green STEAM! We also had fantastic Arts Access Initiative learning experiences with Da Camera.

Thanks to the cooperation of the Kinder, 1st grade, and ancillary teams I was able to switch classes back and forth all week so that all K-1 students could participate in the creation of the Earth Day art projects. The official unveiling won’t happen until April, but they made an incredible start!
Also, this week students in the STEAM lab combined design, art, and robots! Classes learned to program and drive Bee Bots and Sphero robots. They created personal mats for the Bee Bots – a zoo, a fairytale land, a farm, and a city scape! Upper grades painted abstract creation with the Spheros.
Of course, classes continued to make progress in the code.org courses as well! 4th and 5th graders created personal BrainPOP accounts and learned to make use of the Make-a-Map, Make-a-Movie, and Snap Thoughts in Game Up. 3rd grade enjoyed a Free Build Day mid-week as a reward for exceptional collaboration and progress in their coding course!
Great job this week, Panthers!
