Technology (Robtoics, STEM and Design and Modeling)
Design and modeling- This week students finished their isometric and multi view drawings quiz. On Wednesday we went over measuring and played a measuring game. On Thursday students used what they have learned in measuring and stated creating an air skimmer. They continued this on Friday and we will be testing them next week to see who can create the best skimmer.
STEM- Students continued working on their towers through Wednesday. We tested their towers on Thursday to see who engineered the strongest tower in class. Ask your student how much weight their tower held. On Friday students learned about our next project which is creating a dragster.
Robotics- Students continued working on their dragster along with learning the program for our dragsters to they could race their creation down the hallway.

Multimedia
6th-8th Multimedia
6th Multimedia - Students have been working on getting familiar with the Scratch website that we are going to use for our next 2 coding projects. We did start our Animation Project in Scratch that will be due on November 15th. Ask your student to show you what they have started to create. They should be able to log in at home to share that with you!
7th & 8th Multimedia - Students this week have been finishing up their Google SketchUp housing design. Today (Friday the 8th) was their last day to work on it in class. If they need to work on it from home to finish they will need to use the link in Schoology to work in the online version. Next week I will explain how they will record their video tour of their housing design. Then on Wednesday of next week we will start working with Scratch.mit.edu which is a site where they will be coding for the next 2 projects we have coming up.
Please make sure your student will have their own earbuds/headphones available to use daily in my class.
