2019-20 STEAM Lab week 10


A fantastic week of student achievement!

We kicked off Monday with a reading by Name That Book team super-reader Nabaa for the Monday Admin Meeting. She chose her favorites from the poetry anthology, School People, by Lee Bennet Hopkins.

Next our Kindergarten Green Heroes combined forces and held a double clean-up! They went out during their Marathon Kids class time and again with their ancillary teachers. Great Job, Green Heroes!

K-5 made a bit of progress in their Code.org classes, but were very busy investigating the life and work of Vincent Van Gogh via Wonderopolis, Britannica Kids, and BrainPOP Jr. They visited the OSMO Masterpiece, sketching, still life and collaborative collage stations to explore their own ideas inspired by his work. 

3rd through 5th grade also learned about electric circuits – getting a little background from BrainPOP and Wonderopolis before exploring with the breadboards, jumper wire, batteries and LEDs, Little Bits, and Snap Circuits.

Free Build Friday featured OSMO Numbers, Words, Tangrams, and Masterpiece, LEGO Creative Builder, Early Simple Machines, Little Bits, and Snap Circuits. They apparently really loved the work stations this week and wanted another turn!

Friday saw the completion of Ms. Brown’s and Ms. Mallona’s collaborative collages – both of these class picked Almond Blossoms as their source work.  They did a fantastic job!
