G3 Math
Students are indeed taking more responsibility for their learning in G3 Math! Ch2 Math Test results were overall much better than our Ch1 results. We started Ch3 (Multiples and Factors) Thursday, and are using our multiplication knowledge to see more deeply into its related patterns.
GK–2 Makerspace
Students watched music videos about the the Moon and its phases and skip counting by 10s, 5,s and 100s. Students highlighted their own recognition of number patterns in a one hundreds chart, and colored a scientific diagram of the Moon, Earth, and Sun.
G3 Makerspace
Third graders programmed Kibo robots to perform certain actions, sounds, lights, and paths.
G4 SEL/Makerspace
SEL: Fourth graders were given a chart to fill out about what they know about people who work in our school. They were instructed to list several staff members and interview them, then listing what they learned about them. On Friday, we shared what we had discovered about people who work in our school.
Makerspace: We programmed Kibos to do our bidding. We also built marble runs.
G5–6 Makerspace
Students built a Marble Run and discussed how potential energy, kinetic energy, friction, and gravity affect the motion of the marble as it travels through the course. Some of us also drew a blueprint of a home and built it out in Legos.
G7/8 Makerspace
Various groups of students researched how to utilize a motor using a Micro:bit, created working circuits to power a siren, and completed a programming assignment in Scratch (created for gifted students by Purdue University).
