My Little Engineers explored gravity and force today my trying to design something to prevent an egg from cracking when it hit the ground. Messy learning is fun!

It was wonderful having a guest newscaster on HTV this morning. She was the highest bidder for the role in the silent auction earlier this month, and she did a great job! I look forward to having her on the crew when she gets to fifth grade!

Fifth graders learned conditional control structures with Intelino Scratch today by programming their train to change its light color and pause driving when different events happened. Maybe one day they will be programmers in our future smart cities. @csforlcps

Second graders were introduced to Intelino snap coding today and did some observing and problem solving. They had a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see them integrate this into their magnetism unit in Science.

We learned how to make shapes in 3D today using the 3Doodler. I love the smiles and how well the students used the term filament and connected the idea of 3D to things in their life.

Makey Makeys are so much fun! Fifth grade enjoyed creating their own controller with paper and paperclips today and creating an interactive project expressing different emotions.

Gadgets for Good club was a success! Students identified a problem they’d like to solve at school or home and then designed a 3-D object to help solve it. I’m so proud of their creativity!
