Yesterday 1st graders practiced pattern recognition by being challenged to create the United States flag in honor of Veteran's day during stations in STEAM.
Yesterday 4th and 5th graders honored veterans by creating flags in STEAM. The challenge was to make sure it could wave and were given a time constraint of 25 minutes after reviewing the design thinking process and deciding on materials.
We started our first week of Hello World with Digital Citizenship. 5th graders sorted information into public and personal and got them all correct!! @HelloWorldK12CS
@microbit_edu It was a part of our Launch_K5 Computer Science training. A couple of our District Innovative Coaches attended the training at UT this summer and were able to bring it back to our district. 😊
Specials during STAAR? No problem! While my room is being used for STAAR testing, I am pushing into non-testing classrooms with STEAM stations so students don't miss out on one of their favorites specials 😉
1st graders amazed me in STEAM this week! They learned about Leap Year and we did activities in our stations related to 29 days in February and the Earth’s rotation around the sun.
@msharrison10@microbit_edu @AldergrovePS Hi Laura, this is amazing! What grades do you work with? I have no experience with microbit but I teach K-5 STEAM and would love for my students to be able to do something like this :)
Tomorrow is Learn Your Name is Morse Code day! 4th and 5th graders are learning about the history of Morse code, decoding Morse code words, and writing their name on a sentence strip in Morse code 💬
