Excel, engineering, and more

STEAM is moving in fast forward! 

Last week was Read Across America.  The school participated in themed clothing days, Dr. Seuss inspired trivia, and a Dr. Seuss book time line.  On the timeline, classrooms made a "mark" on which books the class read. 

It was a great fun week for the students.  Then the 3rd and 4th graders used an Excel template to create a small chart with three data points!  The students are using another part of the Office 365 suite!

Grade 1 and 2 are working on learning about ENGINEERS and the Engineering Design cycle.  The fun read aloud is called "POP The Invention of Bubble Gum" by Meghan McCarthy



Then the students worked on "testing" materials like an engineer with a variety of 3D shapes.

Kindergarten has been working on "name" rockets and learning to log into the computer. 

Here is an example of the inspiration and a link.  Students had to learn to do this with their LAST name which can be a challenge for some students!  NAME ROCKETS

Look for more pictures soon
