2019-20 STEAM Lab week 5


A lot of great work was accomplished in spite of yet another shortened week!

The lab hosted: Ms. Nesmith’s Kindergarten, Ms. Flores’ 1st grade, Mr. Arzola’s 2nd grade, Ms. Ballentine’s 3rd grade, Ms. McCord’s 4th grade, and Ms. Mulry’s 5th grade this week.


Everyone was introduced to their new @code.org course and the lab procedures. K-2 got settled into their Eco-Schools roles, and 3rd-5th got acquainted with Wonderopolis and Classroom Q. Everyone worked on shadow stories – 3rd-5th researched self-selected science topics in BrainPOP to create their own stories, while K-2 worked on a story retell.


Eco-Schools: Ms. Bell’s class earned their capes and joined Ms. Nesmith’s group outside Thursday for a campus clean-up. Ms. Flores, Ms. Brown, and Ms. Pineda’s classes passed the Monarch ID tests and earned their wings! Our 2nd grade Recycling Team after being shut out by weather the last two weeks was finally able to get started!

Arts Partners: Houston Ballet completed week two of the Dance To Learn Residency with Ms. Ballentine’s 3rd grade, and Houston Grand Opera brought Opera To Go’s fantastic production of Strega Nona for 3rd grade and half of 5th grade.

The half day Friday disrupted regular lab schedules, but we were able to have a little Free Build Friday!
