Little coders, big wins! 🤖 This week, 1st and 2nd graders joined the after-school coding club. The smiles, high-fives, and “it works!” moments were exciting. Coding teaches problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration from the start.

Santa's reindeer needed a break, so KaiBot was willing to help out! Second-grade students created miniature versions of their homes to add to our map. Then, they worked in groups to code KiaBot to stop at all of their houses!

Congrats to our October and November Students of the Month!

Let's save the gingerbread man from the fox! First graders made boats to help the gingerbread man float away from the fox and stay out of the river!

When math and art combine, kids have FUN! Today, kindergarten students learned in STEAM using Spirographs online!

Did you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? Fourth grade had a whole unit about it! We wrapped it up in STEAM by creating our own balloons to fly through the parade route...robot style!

6th and 7th grade students were given 5 sheets of paper, masking tape, and 25 minutes to build the strongest "Thanksgiving Table" to hold as many textbooks as possible. The winning team ended up stacking 62 textbooks on top of their paper table! That is approximately 93lbs!

On Halloween, 3rd grade got a special STEAM session! Their objective? Launch pumpkins as far as they could across the classroom using catapults! Well...candy pumpkins at least... There are real punkin chunkin festivals across the United States!

Kindergarten tested out their engineering skills in STEAM last Friday! Their task was to build the tallest flagpole to honor our veterans! We used Pinky, the Wayground Pinata, as a tool to measure the height of the flagpoles.

Our band and choir performed a special concert for Veterans Day last Thursday. We were lucky enough to have the high school choir join us as well! We would like to share our heartfelt appreciation for all veterans.

Kindergarten listened to the poem "5 Little Pumpkins" in which the pumpkins sit on a gate! Their task in STEAM was to build a gate for the pumpkins to sit on using clothespins and popsicle sticks.

In October, first grade got to combine bones with coding during STEAM! They had to code the Kaibot to put the body parts where they belonged on the skeleton!

Congratulations to our September Students of the Month!

Our students loved watching the Rock Falls High School Marching Band perform their award-winning show! Seeing former ECN students made it extra special!

Ask kindergarten students what happens when you mix vinegar with an antacid tablet! They had a blast doing this experiment in STEAM!

What an exciting day in 2nd grade STEAM! Our students are already coding, and today they enhanced their skills by playing with Finchbots! They had a fantastic time customizing movements, lights, designs, and sounds!

Today was a fantastic day in Kindergarten! Our students engaged in STEAM activities, practicing counting, directions, and coding, all while exploring how their body parts connect in a skeleton! Using the Kaibot made learning interactive and exciting!

Our 3th-5th art club started working on a reverse perspective project on Thursday. They're creating their own optical illusions!
