Just one car example from our “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” STEM activity today!

Kindergartners were challenged to build a car for the pigeon to drive! They built some great cars!

1st graders did some spring themed building today with virtual bricks!

My classroom was actually noisy today with 4th graders completing a virtual, team building, brick building activity on Google Slides. I’ve missed the collaboration and communication between students 🥰

1st & 2nd graders loved their virtual STEM materials for their 100th day structures! Thank you @brookebrownTOTB for another great activity!

Happy 100th day of school! Kindergarteners were given 100 pieces to create anything they wanted. They built towers, rockets, and stick figures of their favorite activity! #stem #100thDayofSchool

Remote snow day + not sharing STEM materials = virtual STEM materials from @brookebrownTOTB ! My 1st graders have loved these activities and their tech skills amaze me every time!

1st graders used some virtual STEM materials to construct winter dens for animals! 🦊🐻🦔

2nd graders used Google Drawing to create a picture, inserted it into a Google Doc and then wrote a few sentences. I’m totally amazed at the tech skills these kids are gaining each day! 🌳 🏠

The Runaway Pumpkin with K Ss today ... totally different from last year 😕 but they loved building and testing their walls to stop the runaway pumpkin! 🎃 #lpslearns

1st graders blew me away today! I was a bit nervous to see how this would go but they did great! I can’t wait to share this lesson with my other firsties 🎃

1st graders did some pixel art on Google Sheets today! So impressed with these pumpkins! 🎃 @murphylps #lpslearns

@murphylps I created a fun stem challenge that goes with light! I wish I could do it this year 🥴😩

“Why does my shadow change?”, “What if I put my paper in the light?”, and “I still see the color!”... love the mumblings of future scientists and engineers... @FOSSscience #hybridlearning #FOSS #scienceeducation #firstgrade

K Ss did their first STEM challenge with Harry the Dirty Dog! They had to build something to contain their paper Harry and then draw a picture of their build. So proud of these little engineers!

@MrD177 @jessabrine The cookies were delicious @jessabrine Thank you!!! 🍪

We had some sneaky visitors today! Thank you, ⁦@jessabrine⁩, Gannon and Fenton for the cookies and cards!

1st graders are getting better at using Google tools by using @shapegrams 🏠 Awesome job @murphylps’s class! #STEM #lpslearns

K students engineered a bridge for 20 teddy bears! They could only use 4 paper cups, 4 popsicle sticks and they had to fit all 20 bears. Their teachers were so impressed!! #STEM #lpslearns

Ms. Potter’s 4th graders were city planners today as they designed a city to prevent and control flood waters 🏗🌊☔️ We also wrapped up Dr. Seuss week with some bookmark origami 📚

4th graders read Oh the Places You’ll Go then built a parachute! We just had to test our parachutes outside in the beautiful spring weather! #ReadAcrossAmerica #DrSeussDay #stem

3rd graders started working in their nests after reading Horton Hatches an Egg! Next week we test! #ReadAcrossAmerica #DrSeussDay #stem
