First Book-AIA STEM Week Reading Celebration
Our reading celebration is a Makerspace event which will be held on Tuesday, 17 December. Fourth-grade teachers were asked to send me the names of students who would like to participate. Those students were given media-release forms to be signed by parents for the First Book organization. I will be taking pictures of the students and their creations, and the students with their book choices, for the program documentation.
We are excited to be a part of this STEM Week celebration! #MyPlaceInSpaceWeek
Computer Science Education Week : December 9-13
Third grade was introduced to the app Kodable with a lesson on the consequences of trash not being disposed of properly: Beach Cleanup. (Not just a beach problem though)
Second grade will start coding the third nine weeks.
These are apps you can download on your devices. Students can also access these at home via their Google log-in they use at school.

We also are great recyclers of toilet paper tubes; butter tubs (or any plastic tub with a lid); felt, foam, or fabric scraps; yarn or string scraps; and various odds-and-ends used in Makerspaces. Our kids are putting their imaginations to work!
