3rd Grade Continent Movies!!

Third graders took a deep dive into social studies research, learning interesting facts about the seven continents.  Then they created a script, practiced their lines and filmed a movie using green screen technology!  Impressive!

Second Grade Landmark Movies!

Second grade has been busy traveling the country through our LEEF Virtual Reality goggles to learn about the U.S. landmarks!  Then they researched each landmark, made creative and clever Google slideshows and from that created a script!  

Today they take YOU with them on a tour of each one.  They worked hard on speaking clearly and using expression.  The second graders did such a great job, you just may see them on the next travel show!  Enjoy!

Osmo Time in 1st and 5th Grades!

Students discovered the world of Osmo by practicing addition and subtraction (1st) and completing coding challenges (5th) through interacting with the digital world on their iPads.  Every single student was engaged for 40 minutes and not wanting to stop at the end of class. That's success!

Guest Teacher teaches animation!

Fourth grader, Fanchi, taught her class how to do animation using the Flip-a-Clip app on the iPads.  So proud of her iniative, sharing her skills, and how well she did in her teaching debut!! She helped the students who had questions and gave tips and tricks - plus the kids LOVED the app!  We now have 4th grade animators! Thank you Fanchi!!!

International Hour of Code!

We do coding throughout the year, but this week is special as we join

over 1 billion people across the world in the International Hour of Code.  Throughout the week, students in grades K-5 take part in many different coding activities.  From Robotics Dash and Blockly, Dance Party and Minecraft on https://code.org/ (among hundreds of others!), to Osmo coding, Hopscotch and Scratch, children engage in sequencing skills, problem solving, collaboration, creating content, and the list goes on.

Children love to continue this work at home!  Congratulations to fifth grader, Addy, whose Hopscotch creation was chosen as one of it's featured projects with over 18,000 plays!

So proud of our Center Coders!

5th Graders Go Back to Colonial Times!
