STEAM fun with @CVMaker537 and over 300 students @MeridianCVUSD so far this week! From bridges to sound devices, & cars moving only using magnetic force! Loved working with these Ss & Ts this week! Always new solutions that Ss come up with! @CajonValleyUSD @CVMaker537

[Kathryn Connolly @ConnollykLMSV]

Last @CVMaker537 visit before break! 4th grade Ss @MeridianCVUSD built solar powered fans as they studied renewable energy, and 5th grade Ss learned about reusable resources by creating water filtration devices! @CajonValleyUSD @CVMaker537 @cool_frog36 @jes_eaton @ronalditopete

The rain didn’t stop these Makers @LexingtonCVUSD today! We stopped flooding damage, slowed down erosion, and made cars move with magnetic force! @CajonValleyUSD @CVMaker537 #MakerEd #STEMed #STEM #cvmaker537

Another great day of making @LexingtonCVUSD! Ss in 2nd made hand pollinators to help vanilla flowers, and 5th graders engineered parachutes that could land on a target from 6 ft high. @CajonValleyUSD @CVMaker537 #cvmaker537 #makered #STEMeducation #STEM #Maker

Yesterday @LexingtonCVUSD, Ss designed ways to stop the wind erosion of sand dunes and created parachutes to hit targets from 6ft off the ground. @CajonValleyUSD @CVMaker537 #cvmaker537 #cvmakerbus #MakerEd #stem

How can we develop cross-curricular instructional units that incorporate @CVWorldofWork, NGSS, reading & writing, presentation literacy, & mathematical standards/practices? Read about how @CrestCoyotes teachers and I did it! https://t.co/510hGFCNxi @CajonValleyUSD @MsSchwappach

Great week so far, & full of learning @Madison_Eaglets! Ss completed lessons that connected NGSS instructional segments to engineering challenges, and used mathematical concepts to fit criteria! Thanks to @misto76, Ms. Donohue, Ms. Hepp, Ms. Rice, @neil_saffer, & Ms. McCallister!

Yesterday, TK ,K, & 1st Ss at @avocadogators worked to solve the trash problem on campus, by using recycled materials to engineer solutions! Thank you for working with me and seeing your Ss creativity flow, @mrs_ignacio_avo, @beth_devos, and @BradburyDarci!

[Kathryn Connolly @ConnollykLMSV]

A lot of great learning took place today and yesterday with The National Conference on Digital Convergence! Thank you to @MrsTownsley88 and @RiosRobots for hosting the @CVMaker537 on your school tour, and thanks to our wonderful @CajonValleyUSD for providing this opportunity!

[Kathryn Connolly @ConnollykLMSV]

Loved every moment working with these kids and our @CVMaker537 lesson studies with @CrestCoyotes teachers!
