Here are a few more of the students who visited our MakerSpace to create!

BOGO Book Fair

The BOGO book fair is always the favorite!!!!  Stop by and pick up some great books to read this summer!

Some MakerSpace Creations

Here are a few recent MakerSpace projects - a prototype of a mailbox with an alarm and a couple of robots (one of the favorite things to make!)

April is Poetry Month!

We have a different schedule during Milestones testing, but we still participate in National Poetry Month.  I think it is a great break from testing!  Fifth graders learned about "Blackout Poetry" and then created and shared their own.

April is Poetry Month!

We have been taking a look at poetry this month and these students used some websites to quickly create some personalized poetry!

Testing Readiness

We will be starting the Georgia Milestones testing soon.  What better way to learn about all the online tools available to use during testing than a DIGITAL BREAKOUT!   For 3rd graders it was their first time to try one, but 4th and 5th grade classes have have participated in Digital Breakouts in the media center previously.  It's a fun way to learn skills and team work. 

More MakerSpace Photos

We have had quite a few inventors lately - so just posting a few pics of the finished products.

Enjoy your spring break!

Last day before spring break and it was picture day.  Should have taken a photo of each class as they looked so dapper today!  But here is the one photo I managed to get!  (We are so going to miss this story area next year!)

The Journey of Curious George

Fifth graders combined almanac and map skills to learn more about the true "Journey of Curious George" which really happened during World War II, which they are currently learning about in class.
We used printed almanacs and Google Maps to visit and learn about the places that are in the book.
