Team Scrappers researching their topic

Fourth grade students discuss the process of researching their Trash Trek topic for the First Lego League competition. They used team work to choose a topic, research various aspects of their topic and develop solutions. We are excited to start using the robots to test out the missions!

Atlas' are not old school, atlas' are cool!

Second graders are learning all about physical and political maps as the study Australia!

First Graders are Creative Writers!

After reading Gradfather Tang's Story, first graders brainstormed ideas, learned the basics of word processing, and are working to develop their own creative writing skills.

We used tangrams to inspire our writing! Some of our stories are sporty...

Some are based on real life events...

Others are silly and clever...

and a few are science fiction!

No spoilers here but I can't wait till we're edited and published and we'll share them with you!
