Paper Engineering
Students did some amazing work creating pop-up cards as invitations for our STEMFEST. They learned several paper engineering techniques to create these cards. Take a look:
Powerpoint!!!!
We began our introduction to Powerpoint. Students learned how format a title slide, including resizing the font, applying the functions of bold, italics, underline, font color, and style. We learned how to insert clipart and resize it to fit our slides. We also learned how to apply transitions and designs to enhance our presentation. First graders created a slide show for their presentation to apply for a classroom pet.
Eggstreme Sport Design Challenge
Third and Fourth graders participated in this design challenge. They needed to work with their group to find a way to transport an egg from point A to point B. After building their design, they tested it out.
Dramatic Inquiry
We explored different points of view with several stories such as Voices in the Park, The Gruffalo, and Crickwing.
