Osmo- Coding Awbie

Our kindergarten students were introduced to coding this week and had fun using the Osmo coding tiles to direct the character where to go.

Coding Fun!

 Today the grade 2's had fun coding music, programming the Ozobots to read color codes, and coding alien characters to tell them where to go.

Thank you for your support of the Scholastic Book Fair!

Our Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success that earned a whopping $2400 worth of books for our school library.  

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported this event! 

A special thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help, and to everyone who donated books to their classroom teachers.  It is very much appreciated!

Bloxels

 Div. 7 was busy coding games with Bloxels in the library last week.  There was a lot of creativity and some fabulous characters/games created!

If I Built A House

 

Our kindergarten students read "If I Built A House" by Chris Van Dusen.

They then used Keva planks, Lego or straws and connectors to create their own dream house!

Ozobots!

Division 7 has been learning about the human body and are coding the Ozobot robots to travel the path that food takes through the digestive system and other body systems!

Old Rock (is not boring)

Students in grades K-3 have been reading the book Old Rock (is not boring) by Deb Pilutti

After the story, the students in K/1 used the Draw and Tell app to create a picture of Old Rock on his next adventure. 

They then recorded their voice describing what Old Rock was doing!

Students in grades 2 and 3 used the pic collage app to show why Old Rock is not boring!

Rockets!

Over the past couple of weeks, many classes have been making paper rockets.  The students are constructing their rocket out of card stock and masking tape and then heading outside to launch them and see how far they fly! This has been such a fun activity, especially with all the sunshine we have had lately!

3D Printing!

 Division 1 designed key chains using Tinkercad and have been printing them on the 3D printer this week.

Coding in the Library/Learning Commons

 Division 13 was busy coding with Osmo and Ozobots this week!

Pigeon Stories!

Before the break, the students in divisions 10 and 11 created their own pigeon stories based on the books written by Mo Willems. They used the Book Creator app and created some creative and funny versions of Mo Willems beloved pigeon stories.

3D Printing to help provide PPE

Division 1 has been busy running our 3D printer each day to produce visor clips used for Personal Protective Equipment for doctors and nurses all over the world!
