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!
