I am so excited about this grant and all the excitement with our students!

Exploring with Strawbees at SFES in STEAM Lab! Next, we add microbits! #sfes #bcbefullsteamahead #baldwinproud @Alliebcbe @RasmusCarlsson8

@DitchThatTxtbk A1:I think it depends on the student and subject. Note-taking is only one strategy for learning subject-matter! #bcbefullsteamahead @DitchThatTxtbk @Alliebcbe

@DitchThatTxtbk A2: I feel note-taking can be flawed because most of the time students are just writing/taking notes they think their teacher would like to have. The students are missing the most important part of note-taking which is what is beneficial for the student. #bcbefullsteamahead

@DitchThatTxtbk A3: I think modeling and teaching different note-taking strategies are very important for students to learn. Various note-taking strategies to be taught could include sketch note, paddle, google forms, and jam board. #bcbefullsteamahead #ditchthattxbk #ditchbook @Alliebcbe

Exploring with micro-bits- Can’t wait to add on! #sfes #baldwinproud #bcbefullsteamahead @Alliebcbe @kknapp16 @microbit_edu @RasmusCarlsson8 @BaldwinSchools

Our first annual SFES Candy Cane Drop! Our students designed packages for two candy canes to be dropped by our @spanishfortfire and not be broken! Thank you @feelgoodteach for the idea! #sfes #steam #bcbefullsteamahead #baldwinproud @Alliebcbe @kknapp16 @feelgoodteach

I know Nov 8th is #NationalSTEMDay, but we need to make #STEM for every kid EVERYDAY! I’ll give away 3 copies of #DailySTEM to help…just Retweet to enter!

No 🌸 can grow without a stem no more than a student blossom without a STEM education...

@Alliebcbe @RandaSmithSTEAM @strawbees @RasmusCarlsson8 Thank you @Alliebcbe and @RasmusCarlsson8 for making this happen for us! #BCBEfullSTEAMahead

@DitchThatTxtbk A4 I like to dress up as a character and start a story to grab their attention!

Q4 What are your FAVORITE storytelling hooks? #Ditchbook

@DitchThatTxtbk A3 share a clipart or gif and allow students in groups of 3 to create the beginning, middle and end.

Q3 Share your favorite storytelling lessons/activities. Add links to resources if you have them! #Ditchbook

@DitchThatTxtbk A2 I think it can be used in any subject matter. Maybe as an example- give the students the conclusion or result and they have to come up@with the beginning and middle!

Q2 Where can we use the three-act story structure in class? Be creative! #Ditchbook

@DitchThatTxtbk A1 I think using collective storytelling as a whole group would be beneficial to students.

Q1 How do we encourage students to “think like a storyteller?” #Ditchbook

@SquishyCircuits I love this! Perfect for our first grade butterfly unit! #BCBEfullSTEAMahead #sfes

Create fluttering fun with our #ButterflyProject! Form the wings, then use our insulating dough to make the body. Add the antennae, some decorative wing accents, and LEDs – & watch your creation take f-LIGHT. 🦋😉 Remember to #SnapAPhoto to share on our #SquishyCircuits app.📷

Thank you @BaldwinEMC for awarding me a Star Light grant for STEAM materials! I am so thankful for your support for our school! #sfes #bcbefullsteamahead #baldwinproud

I can’t wait to learn how to use these in our lab! @strawbees @Alliebcbe @microbit_edu #bcbefullsteamahead

SFES students learning to make a copy, share and writing Halloween poetry in our STEAM lab today! Thank you @Alliebcbe for the idea! #sfes #BCBEfullSTEAMahead #baldwinproud
