Earlier in the year, 5th grade students were challenged with creating an informational poster that could clearly display information about aquaponics. We wanted to be able to hang these by our aquaponics systems to teach others what was happening. Using Canva, students created posters. Then as a class we discussed which ones best displayed the information. We talked about backgrounds, images, information and eventually chose these 3 designs to be turned into large posters on display!
More dodgeball pictures!
1st grade earned their next PBIS award and we enjoyed dodgeball outside in the wind today!
2nd grade is preparing to publish some of their writing in social studies. To do this, they are going to use Canva. In Innovation Club, part of our computer science standards is learning about how to use different types of software. Today, 2nd graders got to explore how to use an app, a type of software, called Canva! They got to design a postcard with their name on it, add images about themselves, add backgrounds, etc. Look for photos of their finished products to come!
3rd grade is continuing to explore force in Innovation Club. 3rd graders were challenged to create a maze for a marble. They can only move the marble through the maze using magnetic force. We will share our designs next Innovation Club. Then students are going to connect their mazes together to form a giant maze.
4th Grade played an awesome addition game with our Sphero Bolts! They worked on coding an algorithm, troubleshooting and debugging, as well as their multi-digit addition with regrouping skills!

1st grade more parachute
More parachute pictures
After learning about air in science, 1st graders were challenged with designing a parachute that could successfully land an egg when dropped. After looking at designs, making changes and doing test drops holding at least 40 grams (because that was how much one of our eggs from the farm weighed) students finally got to test today! Nearly all of our parachutes were successful when dropped on grass! We had a few successful when dropped on cement! Next week we are going to look at the parachutes that were successful to analyze what made them successful!
1st grade enjoyed one last guest speaker today about goods and services! My brother talked about farming corn and soybeans and livestock- chicken, cows, and pigs!
