Thank you Dr. Kolar for coming in to help these amazing 5th graders complete their @NPR student podcast challenge. We are so lucky to have such supportive school board members and such awesome students. @PV_Schools@pvsouth_eled#nprstudentpodcastchallenge
4th graders are busy building their solar ovens! Amazing work by a bunch of hardworking kids!! Can’t wait to test them! ☀️🔥☀️#ilovemyjob @brookebrownTOTB @pvsouth_eled
Amazing conversation with 5th grade around the book Red by Michael Hall. We honestly discussed identity and how labels impact us all. Later they answered questions that will help further their analysis of the book. I love using picture books with these “big kids”. @pvsouth_eled
1st-5th grade students worked on Valentine’s Day #stembins yesterday. Their creativity and collaborative conversations were contagious! @pvsouth_eled @brookebrownTOTB #ilovemyjob
My mind was blown 🤯 today, when this 5th grader showed me how he took the project I assigned him to another level by using @ScratchJr and @makeymakey to play #supermario I was speechless, and anyone who knows me knows that doesn’t happen very often! 😂@pvsouth_eled#PVempowers
@brookebrownTOTB 3rd graders are deep into discovering magnetic force by figuring out how to get their mouse 🐭 to the cheese 🧀. Student engagement was through the roof today!! 🤩 #3rdgradestem#ilovemyjob#PVSDdoschooldifferent
Today, 5th graders used a person made from UV beads to test if the prototype of their deserted island shelter will protect them from the sun’s rays!☀️ Just over here at #southelementary school working through the #engineering design process! 🤓 #pvsddoschooldifferent
Oh ok 5th grade! I see 👀 where you want to travel! Using @polleverywhere to generate ideas for a dream vacation. This activity built the foundation for our “Deserted Island” unit. Little do they know we won’t ever make it to our planned destination! 🏝🏝
Today, 1st and 2nd graders learned about Bernoulli’s Principle by testing several different types of paper airplanes! ✈️ ☀️✈️ Next time we meet, they will make some improvements and then test again!#pvsddoschooldifferent#engineeringdesignprocess
