2019-20 STEAM Lab week 2


A short, but spectacular week! We lost a day for the Labor Day holiday, but students still managed to get all the work done and earn Free Build Friday too.

3 more classes of Green Heroes earned their capes! Congratulations to Ms. Hernandez, Ms. Nesmith, and Ms. Allende’s classes on the successful campus clean-up and new capes! Ms. Thormodsgaard’s Monarch Heroes earned their wings as well. The 2nd grade recycling teams were assigned classrooms and went to meet them. Ms. Ballentine’s Water Wardens were initiated into their new job on Wednesday and donated Friday’s recess to their 1st solo venture. Our Eco-Schools Heroes are loving their new jobs!

K-2 were introduced to their new Code.org classes, created and performed their Shadow Stories. 3-5 got settled into the lab procedures, started their new Code. Org courses, began the Wonderopolis Daily Wonder and write ups, and learned to use Classroom Q. 5th grade made binary bracelets, 4th grade turned in fantastic Science Shadow Stories after researching personally selected topics on BrainPOP. Their scripts and puppets were really impressive as were their performances! They shared their learning about the Big Bang, Black Holes, thunderstorms, the ocean ecosystem, and food chains. Bravo 4th grade!

We ended the week with Free Build Friday – everyone had a blast building and exploring with Keva planks, LEGO, OZOBOTs, building blocks, the observation and classification stations and more.
