STEAM Lab 2018-19 Week 9

It was a big week for Arts Education at Piney Point!

The Alley Theatre brought their show Oskar and the Big Bully Battle to the whole school on Monday, Kinder and 1st grade attended a Musiqa performance at the Hobby Center and 4th grade had their second meeting with their Arts Partners from MET Dance.
In the STEAM Lab we started a new rotation that focuses on integrating literature. The primary students read the Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns and made their own BeeBot mats to practice retelling the story. The 3rd grade broke into groups based on their choice of story and created literal story maps for their Robo-retells! They used the OZOBOTS to retell stories from Chris Van Allsburg and Eric Carle.
Students continue to work towards their programming goals in Code.org; the 5th grade in particular made really outstanding progress this week!

Next week 3rd-5th grade will be working through the practice session for the Bebras Critical Thinking challenge!
