Our first STEAM challenge - tower building. One class used straws, index cards, and tape, and one class used LEGO. (I only grabbed pictures of the LEGO builds so far…) What was so interesting today was that the real lesson didn’t end up being about STEAM itself but more the soft skill behind it - group work. We learned that a group needs to listen to other members, to consider their ideas, to compromise, to try again when our first idea fails. It wasn’t easy, and we learned that that is okay, too. Life skills! ❤️❤️👍#sippicanschool #sippicanspecialists #weareor
We are having so much fun celebrating Dot Day this week! The annual celebration (which takes place “September 15th-ish”) encourages readers to take a chance, make a mark, and see where it takes them. Grades 4-6 learned about someone who made a mark, Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer. Then, students designed a dot and used the AR app, Quiver, to see their dot in 3D. Who knows where it will take THEM! 🟠💻🖌#sippicanschool #sippicanspecialists #weareor #dotday2022
