After our physiological needs are met,we need to biologically attach. We have brain circuitry wired for attachment (limbic).Within schools, attachment should come before everything. It's all about attachment. For pupis, it's an absolute necessity. Everything else will follow.🧠🌱
4th graders created animated replicas of the solar system using #Keynote. SS used real images, and changed the duration, rotation and angle representing each planet. SS in 5th put together 3D @ozobot STEAM solar systems and tested their robots discovering the paths of planets.
