Fred's Big Adventure

3rd graders were thrilled this week as they planned Fred's adventure sailing around the world. A bit of geography, and a whole lot of creativity were needed as they used our Lego WeDo robotic kits to create a moving boat for Fred and designed backdrops to help tell the story. Check out the behind the scenes footage and the final amazing movie Fred's Big Adventure.

Winter Break: MiniFig Style

A picture is worth a thousand words! 4th graders put this quote to the test today. They were asked to imagine what they wish they could do over winter break or to choose something they will do. They then had to tell that story in one photograph starring none other than Lego Mini Figures. This was a timed challenge that put time-management and creativity to the test. Check out their playful photos.

Ozobot Races

What is cute, has wheels, and you can hold it in your hand? Ozobot! Students were able to test their coding skills today during the Ozobot race. Each track had to be at least 100cm, have 5 different codes, and at least three 90 degree turns. Check out the final race! Today students also finalized their invention plans and are ready to start building!

Micrography

Fifth graders created an introspective piece of art today in the form of micrography. Students wrote details, favorites, quotes, beliefs, and hopes to create their own self-portrait. Not only are they awesome to see from afar, up close you really learn about each individual. What a great identity project!

Chess, Numbers, and Fred

Wow! The pace is picking up in 3rd grade! This week they met Mr. Arney, our chess instructor and started with the basics of chess. They completed a Numbers of Me Project where they calculated their age in dog years, figured out how much they would weigh on another planet, were introduced to square roots, and measured using the metric system. At the end of the day they were introduced to a GT mascot of sorts - Fred (the gummy worm). The poor little guy is always getting into trouble. Today students needed to get him to wear his life preserver. Students used their communication and collaboration skills and a think tank strategy to save him. Though I have a feeling Fred will end up needing their help again soon! Take a peek at our day.
