Third graders’ made shuffleboards for makers’ month, and now enter their team in the bracket for our shuffleboard tournament.

After designing on paper, and laminating their shapes, DK students figure out how to use a straw to inflate the balloons they made.

We learn all about the first computers (people) and how we’ve used technology to make computing easier.

We’re planning to design games, and work together to imagine a fun game to make…

2nd grade will be making board games, 3rd grade will make shuffle boards for a march madness tournament, and 4th grade gets to make the arcade games for our cardboard arcade in STEM

This week the students can make a valentine on the iPad

What is something you always have with you, and that you always leave behind?

Students identify what type of fingerprint they have.  We learn that our fingerprints are unique, no one has the same exact print, some identifiers include, a loop, an arch, or a whorl.  The students create their fingerprints using washable marker, and compare their print to other students in the group.  Then we report what each student found out, add up the different types of fingerprints, and make a graph to see what is the most common, and most students have the loop.

Students learn what the 3 states of matter are, and then are challenged to change an ice cube from a solid, to a liquid, to a gas.
