This @makeymakey project in the makerspace is so cool. DYI Operation game that's hooked up to a laptop running @scratch so we get real noises and a lives counter. Awesome. #BentonBold #cpsbest

We brought the snow inside for our K-2 makerspace so they could design snow plows! Let's employ these little engineers! #BentonBold #cpsbest

4th and 5th grade have been designing some really cool snowflakes on @tinkercad to print for the holiday season! #BentonBold #cpsbest

A 2nd grader teacher asked her class to make a book to welcome a new student. One friend knows what's important around here. 😎 #BentonBold

More roller coaster awesomeness! #BentonBold

First grade had fun coding their Creature Power Suits for their animal adaptations unit in @ScratchJr. When they finished, they could explore the app. Some friends decided to make a model of the solar system! 😍 #BentonBold

We're building marble rollercoasters in the makerspace this month! #BentonBold #cpsbest

Loving the line of helpers who want to squeegee the puddles off the blacktop at recess today! #BentonBold

Okay, first grade! I see you coding Lego robots like pros! Awesome job. #BentonBold

Fourth grade is applying their knowledge of circuitry to add lights and fans to their black history project projects. They are VERY into this. #cpsbest #BentonBold

So glad to have found a 3D printer that works!! Hope I didn't just jinx it. #cpsbest

Free Comic Book day was May 4th, so we celebrated comics all week leading up to it. So many students make comics, and lucky winners earned a free copy of Cat Kid Comic Club! #BentonBold #cpsbest

[Mr. Ray @MrRay_Media]

Pi Day fun! Telling kindergarteners that pi comes between 3 and 4 is always hilarious. You can see their minds exploding. 😂 #BentonBold

[Mr. Ray @MrRay_Media]

We used @scratch to deepen our understanding of how coordinate planes work by using pen and glide scripts to draw shapes with vertices in different quadrants. Challenging but fun! #BentonBold

[Mr. Ray @MrRay_Media]

One of the perks of Reading Week is getting to check out five books! Love those empty shelves and displays. #BentonBold
