Coding with Dash the Robot
Ellen Woodside recently acquired six "Dash" Robots! Lessons with Dash present challenges that require teamwork, creative problem-solving, critical thinking and the use of technology.
Dashing Gingerbread Men
First grade students listened to a retelling of "The Gingerbread Man" and raced a LEGO Gingerbread Man and Fox to a Gingerbread House with the Dash robots.
Push & Pull with Dash
Second grade students experimented with a set of gram weights to see how much weight Dash could push and pull.
Dash on Snow Patrol
Fifth grade students built a LEGO snowplow and coded Dash robots to clear an area of "snow."
How much weight can Dash push and pull?

Library Lessons
QR Code Scavenger Hunt for USA Symbols
First grade students worked in teams to identify photographs of six American symbols on a QR Code Scavenger Hunt in the Library.
Rocket Blowing Blast-Off
Fourth grade students read "Whoosh! Lonnie Johnson's Super Soaking Stream of Inventions" by Chris Barton and made rockets from a single piece of paper and a straw. A competition was held to see which rocket launch would go the furthest.
Revolutionary War
Third grade students read "Palmetto: Symbol of Courage" by Kate Salley Palmer and created a LEGO build representing a scene from the book.
"Step Up" to Chapter Books
The library has a new section of easy first chapter books (Lexile Level 110-400) in the library to entice our young students to tackle appropriate chapter books.
New Furnishings!
Our students love the new modern blue sofas and benches in the library. These two friends enjoy "buddy reading" the same title.
The Library Lion
This majestic lion now graces the walls of the EWE Library! A special thank you to Mr. Tarr and our third grade students for creating this magnificent lion. It is truly awe-inspiring!
