We’re hoping to decorate the Library this month with storybook dioramas using Peeps for the main characters. Our first one arrived yesterday. Can you tell what storybook it is??? #SDJInnovators #librarytwitter @sdjvanburen @SDJanesville

I love creating things in @canva!

It was a fun and busy week at Van Buren! Building levees, solving coding challenges, Pi(e) Day, and visits from Mary Comfort Dog. Bring on Spring Break! @sdjvanburen @SDJanesville #VBRocks

There was hammering coming from the STEM lab again today. The 5th graders are using what they know about Newton’s laws of motion, gravity, and friction to build marble mazes with a goal of the slowest marble run. @SDJanesville @sdjvanburen #SDJInnovators #STEM

The second graders faced a Valentine catastrophe! The dump trucked tipped and spilled all the candy hearts. They used Dash with his shovel attachment to clean up the mess. @sdjvanburen @SDJanesville #SDJInnovators #STEM

Kindergarten and First Grade had fun practicing coding with the Code Hopper mats this week. Active brains, active bodies! #codingforkids #SDJInnovators @sdjvanburen @SDJanesville

@GiftedTawk My first pet Mandy was a cockapoo. 🐶

So my students asked me to create a DESIGN A PET VEHICLE Jamboard and here are the results. What should I add before sharing? If you’re interested in a copy, post about your first pet. What was it? And what was its name?
