Follow-Up Days!
Our second follow-up day of the year is this week! Grades 3 - 5 meet on 11/30 and Grades 6 - 8 meet on 12/1. We will meet from 8am to 3pm at Alicante Elementary in the Lamont Board Room. You will be using your Sparkfun Inventor's Kit (pictured below) so please bring that along with a laptop if you have one that already has the Arduino software installed (maybe one that you used this summer). If you don't have one, not to worry! We will have laptops available for you to use.
Dan Meyer's Keynote at NCTM
Dan Meyer delivered a keynote address on student engagement at NCTM recently and he posted the video on his Vimeo channel (embedded below). It's a lengthy video at 47 minutes but well worth the investment of time.
