I am trying to get back to consistently posting each week. Finding my photos can sync with Google Photos means less cutting and pasting from my phone. I still need to figure out cropping/editing. But I can get phones directly on my computer which is AWESOME.
Here is an update from Elementary STEAM land:
Monday was a holiday/snow day...last day of family recovery from the illness monsters.
Tuesday was a 2 hour delay so that the community could unbury from 20+ inches of snow.
Wednesday and Thursday were normal days.
Friday was a work day for teachers - a time to clean up (3 bags of trash out, book discards re-organized, Cardboard tubes re-collected, return items to their proper location, give away other unwanted items, etc...) Plus worked on plans for our heart challenge and upcoming art and music activities.
Finally, time to sit and reflect and plan some lessons. This was a a gift! I love this moment.
So what did we work on in STEAM this week...lots to catch up on Code.org as well as AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) in 4th grade. Always willing to try new lessons. The IU lending library has been working with our district to try out new technologies. So here we go! I needed a way to use the technology. They were truly playing with merge cubes not learning through the merge cubes. So I needed a way to make it work.
Here are few 3rd grade projects too from their snowflakes...We used a buffet of shapes to create these!
Finally, an updated picture of rotting Pumpkin Jack
