Students were hard at work on a variety of special events
this week, so not much of our extra STEAM Lab projects was done. It was still a
great week of learning!
It was the start of our Bebras Challenge and this year Ms.
Roesch in the Computer Lab and Ms. Wheatley in the Digital Media Lab helped get all 22 of our 3rd-5th
grade classes through the practice and challenge rounds!
About Bebras®The Bebras® Computing Challenge introduces computational thinking to students.It is organized in over 30 countries and designed to get students all over the world excited about computing.
K-2nd have been very busy with their respective
Eco-Schools USA campaigns! Kinder held another big cooperative campus clean-up.
We are so proud of the hard work and dedication of our young Green Heroes!
Monarch Heroes have earned over $600.00 through their Monarch Money drive and
had visitors on campus Thursday to see their work and learn about their efforts
to raise awareness and create new habitat for Monarch butterflies. Our 2nd
grade recycling team has been hard at work educating their peers and collecting
the campus recycling bins every week.
In STEAM Lab K-2 made excellent progress in
their Code.org courses.
Projects and Free Build fell by the wayside as
every grade was out at least one day due to fabulous field trips and it was also
short week due to early dismissal on Friday. Three days was just enough time to
work on Bebras and get to the next level in Code.org!
5th grade had a very special
opportunity to attend a Behind the Scenes tour of Houston Ballet’s Center for
Dance! They had a brief introduction to the company, a Ballet Talk about the
Nutcracker, and a tour of the facility. They saw professional dancers
rehearsing in the studio, working out in the gym, dance classes for the most
promising of the next generation of dancers, and a peek inside the costume
shop! We are so grateful to be an Arts Connect Creative Campus and especially
appreciative of our wonderful Arts Partner, Houston Ballet!
Our Name that Book and UIL Team put in a good
bit of practice as well! 4 members of the K-2 team have completed their first
read-through of their list and are preparing to be library readers!
Our UIL team participated in their first meet of
the year this Saturday at Welch Middle School. For the first time I was unable to go with them and am so grateful to Ms. Wheatley, Ms, McCord, Ms. Kindle and PTO president Mr. Bustos for managing the competition.We are so proud of our scholars!
