STEAM Lab 2018-19 Week 2



A short, but wonderfully productive week!

This week the STEAM Lab hosted:
Ms. Hernandez’s Green Heroes, who started learning their song, discussed their job as Green Heroes, learned about algorithms, started their Code.org coding course.
Ms. Brown’s Monarch Heroes, who learned their theme song and started their work learning about the endangered Monarch butterfly and what they can do to help! They mastered navigating to their own coding class, logging in as a team, and learned about creating algorithms to solve problems.
Ms. Ballentine’s 2nd grade set up their new coding class accounts and learned about using loops in their algorithms.
All three groups had a fantastic time with Free Build Friday!
Ms. Mallona’s 3rd grade, Ms. Reilly’s 4th grade made the most of the short week, setting up Code.org and Scratch accounts. They did a great job communicating during the pair programming and turning the Scratch project into collaboration, rather than an individual project!
Mr. Cruz’s 5th grade completed several levels in their new Code.org course and did a great job transitioning to pair programming!
This week we had our first G/T Lab sessions! Ms. Massey’s 3rd grade group started work on a new project called Scratch Pals – it is going to be a kind of digital pen pals/ coding community where students can exchange projects and learn from each other! Ms. Grimaldo & Ms. Martinez’s classes are forming out No Place For Hate coalition and have made an amazing start on our kick-off event planning!
Next week is also a four-day week for students, so relax and enjoy your long weekend!
