Another week of learning adventures in the Piney Point STEAM
Lab!
This week we completed our first cycle through the STEAM Lab
– all classes have now completed the introduction to the lab/ and initial
Code.org activities.
This last set of classes included Ms. Bell’s Kindergarten,
Ms. Pineda’s 1st grade, Ms. Keahey’s 2nd grade, Ms.
Accavallo’s 3rd grade, Ms. Alanis’ 4th grade and Ms.
Purvey’s 5th grade.
Classes set goals on their class Padlet, learned to use Classroom
Q, and made great strides in problem solving with their Pair Programming
strategies in Code.org. This week saw our first campus-wide IIM fair where
classes presented their research to each other. A lot of very remarkable class
and individual work was shared, and students were justifiably proud of their
hard work!
Monarch Heroes -
The year’s first cold snap coincided with a big influx of caterpillars emerging and Monarch Heroes were out in the gardens monitoring the situation. Lots of larvae had to be relocated from bare sticks inside until we could get more milkweed supplies! Ms. Thormodsgaard’s class taped this week’s Monarch Money PSA in the TV studio and all 1st grades presented topic related to their Monarch Hero project at the IIM Fair. This group received word that their hard work has been recognized and they have been named a Mayor’s Proud Partner!Recycling Heroes –
Mr. Arzola’s class filmed this week’s
Recycling Reminder in the TV studio and all eight teams were out in force
Thursday collecting and educating their peers about the importance of
recycling!
