Our students learned from a local boat-building expert at the DA Hurd library last week. We ❤️ our local library and their commitment to engaging young people!! #WeAreNoble #HaveYouHurd @noblevirtual

Noble Flex participated in North Berwick Elementary School's 20th Anniversary 100s Day food collection this week. We 💗 our community!

Our Lego Robotics team "Noble Superflexed" attended a showcase and friendly competition at WJHS on Saturday. They were commended for their on-the-spot innovative thinking! We enjoyed the chance to see the great work being done by other local teams. #WeAreNoble #firstlegoleague

Let the 3D printing begin!! Students are starting with "Level 1" designs first - keychain, coasters, Dog tags, etc. There is room for designers of all experience levels to challenge themselves and grow! #WeAreNoble #nobleflex #3dprint

Our Ss recently finished their #passionprojects. Ss chose a topic of their choice to build, create or research. It's amazing to see students pursue their own interests and learn to be self-directed learners! #WeAreNoble #NobleFLEX #PBL

It's official! We moved into the Yurt and had our first day on Friday, December 3rd. We love our new learning space!! #NobleFLEX #WeAreNoble #yurtlearning #yurt

Congratulations to our First Lego League Robotics Team - Noble Superflexed - for a 4th place finish in the Maine State Robotics Competition Robot Game! The team showed perseverance, teamwork and problem solving, and their hard work really paid off! #WeAreNoble #firstlegoleague

We had an amazing time at The UNH Browne Center for Innovative Learning on Friday. Ss embraced "challenge by choice." The collaboration skills we practiced are invaluable to the cultivation of community that makes FLEX so special. #WeAreNoble #outdoorlearning @noblevirtual

All FLEX students get to try their hand at Lego Robotics, but a few diligent and dedicated students come into school an hour early two days a week to prepare for the Maine State Robotics Competition. We're rookies, but we're making good progress!! #WeAreNoble #lego #spikeprime

The Ss assembled the desks for our new learning space this week. We ♥️ these desks - they are so flexible! We can work sitting or standing, and are excited to see the formations we can create for both collaborative and independent work. #NobleFlex #WeAreNoble @noblevirtual

Happy Halloween from Noble FLEX!! We had a great time last Friday night helping out at the NBES Halloween Howler! #WeAreNoble #NobleFlex @Ultimaker

Ms. Putnam lead a lesson on deeper questioning using this awesome graphic. It's such a great tool for teaching students to generate their own questions. #WeAreNoble #NobleFlex #PBL

Celebrating the finale of our first project with Spirit Series Many thanks to our Story Coaches who gave valuable feedback throughout the process and joined us online for the celebration! #NobleFlex #WeAreNoble #TogetherWeGrow @noblevirtual

We ❤️ the DA Library! Last Friday we held our weekly book groups in person at the local library. Book groups are a great way to develop a love of learning and a good way to sneak in literary skill-building! #WeAreNoble #NobleFlex #HaveYouHurd #middlegrade #MSBA @noblevirtual

We are so grateful to Michal Kaleta from Lassel Architects for being our guest expert today! Michal talked with the Ss about renewable energy and energy efficiency, relating to our First Lego League #superpowered investigations. #WeAreNoble #NobleFLEX #PBL #FLL #renewableenergy

We launched our first project today with @SpiritSeriesusa - conscience! This project is amazing for digging into the writing process, giving and receiving peer and coach feedback, and sharies our stories through a variety of media. #WeAreNoble #NobleFLEX #TogetherWeGrow

The Noble Flex team is sharpening their storytelling craft! The Ss and learning coaches told short, narrative stories in concentric circles. Next week we start with a big storytelling project! #WeAreNoble #msad60 #nobleflex #storytelling

Yurt update! The building has been insulated, dry walled and wired. The beautiful wood ceiling was installed. Painting is in progress. We feel so lucky that this will be our in-person learning space! #WeAreNoble #NobleFlex #yurtlearning @noblevirtual

Ms. Putnam makes computational thinking both fun and accessible! #WeAreNoble #NobleFlex #computationalthinking #science #PBL @mmsa_org
