6th graders and Kindergarten students working together to make gingerbread houses. These students are paired together and meet many times during the school year. Great teamwork guys!
When growth mindset is becoming normalized, “It’s not impossible, you’re just giving up to early!” Says one 4th grader unprompted to another in today’s STEAM challenge. Oh, my teacher heart!!! @CameronElem

Ms. Connolly’s 5th grade @CameronElem finished their drawing robots today and wanted me to post some videos so they can share with family at home. Thank you so much for funding this experience @FCPSFoundation!
What I like most is the unprompted 2nd grader recognizing a failed design with confidence! “I think this is a little not good. I’ll get two cups!” @CameronElem
Last one for today, I’ll get the rest shared next week. This group took a different approach and had to innovate paper application to avoid splattering the audience!
2nd graders @CameronElem are starting to design extension grabbers with materials funded by @FCPSFoundation. I love the teamwork and design process in action, next week we make modifications to pick up smaller objects! #tinkerthinkerengineers#soar
Check out these drawing machines in progress using simple circuits and hobby motors with counterweights.6th graders @CameronElem are collaborating to build robots that can make art. Funded by @FCPSFoundation grant! Thank you so much- the motors are generating lots of excitement!
My kindergartners @CameronElem started working as automotive engineers to build push and motorized cars with magnaformers. We learned a lot of car parts and how they work together. Next week, we build cars from scratch! #tinkerthinkerengineers
