Monday – Windy but sunny

The week began with Robotics, which is progressing nicely. Our team made a special appearance giving our other engineers a chance to experiment with team materials and to learn from those who have more experience. Tracy set up a project to sew mittens that became little turkey puppets. Students revisited the quilt project as well. (more…)

Monday - Warm with gray skies

In Sewing children made flags, different shapes and designs emerged. In robotics students are really getting the hang of building vehicles. One was nearly 2 feet long! Some of the robots follow lines around on the floor using a sensor.

Sewing continued with further work on costumes, stuffed characters and capes. Two students planned ninja jump suits and discussed their planned approach with Tracy. They are very excited.

Home school student joined our robotics class us for the first time this year. Did you know that with good design and some programming rolling robotic vehicles make noise and turn in all directions. (more…)

Our young engineers enjoyed another session of robotics. Some of the students improved their previous creations while others started over with new ideas. Many experimented with the motion, light and sound sensors. During sewing students worked on various projects including pillows, stuffed animals, costumes and capes. As always they found time during morning workshop to do their Math-U-See.

Two groups played games after lunch. The first, played our ever popular Capture the Flag while the second played Hopscotch on the sidewalk in front of the school. Our hopscotch group drew a variety of boards, naming shapes and practicing writing numbers. (more…)
