Having some fun with data analysis @ElbowParkSchool Using local business @Villageicecream's storefront survey results to pull fun data. SERIOUS debate has broken out in class over "Free Internet for Life vs Free Internet for Life" question.

Preparing for massive school-wide art project this week @ElbowParkSchool by analyzing art by Cameron Bird and creating our own pieces. Emphasis on elements of art and growth. Student work is incredible! Teachers stockpiling pieces to sell at a premium in 20 years.

Nordic skiing residency @ElbowParkSchool. Several spills (learning opportunities), mostly by Mr. Daga @ArtsElbow and Mr. Burima. Pride; bruised. Tailbones; bruised. Excitement to hit the hill tomorrow? Intact.

Loved presentation by adventurer, scientist, and inventor Zoltan Takacs @yycARTS. He travels the world searching for snake venoms to make lifesaving medicines. Also, pay no attention to nervous smile from @ElbowParkSchool student; she crushed her question to Zoltan. @NatGeo

Graphing with whiteboards: great way to be open to making mistakes when learning new concepts. Create, erase, repeat!

[EPS 5/6's @56ElbowPark]

Continuing our work with data analysis and prototyping by developing "cotton ball shooters". Students are loving the challenge and embracing FAIL (first attempt in learning).
