The Spring Performance and Project Night was last night. The kids sang some great songs. Abbie is in honor choir and is in flower dress with a white cardigan. Noah is up near the top right in a green plaid shirt. Hunter is off to the far right in a blue shirt and you can see him with the shaker. Hunter is also playing the guitar at the bottom of the video.
In Hunter's class they designed and built a robot. The students over the course of the month integrated this into all areas of study. The driving questions were:
How can you use computer programming to modify your robot to better solve a problem for Benjamin Franklin?
How would taking this robot back in time affect the culture of the colonies in the late 1700's?
The students presented their robots and wrote persuasive papers. Parents then got to vote for what they felt the best robot.
Abbie's class had to design a seed dispenser that would disperse seeds over a large area. Noah's class did a study of the prediction of weather in the summer time. They surveyed parents and asked them their predictions of the weather over this summer.
