  We've been busy this week in Makerspace! K-2 are making great progress on communicating their reflections on their Index Card Tower using Padlet. Not only are they working on responding to reflection questions but also making sure to add details to strengthen their writing. Some students are even working on creating audio or video reflections as well. We're looking forward to be showing our final product soon! 3rd graders are finishing up with their presentations on Google Slides. 4th graders have begun their coding unit, inspired from our field trip to the Lyric Opera's collaboration with Codeverse - the world's first fully interactive coding studio for kids. To prepare to code with Kidscript -- Codeverse's language for coding -- 4th graders have begun to write out code for an obstacle course they will create within the class. 5th graders and 6th graders (Rm. 109) having been working hard on their "How To" videos showing K-2 how to use iPads and 3-5 how to use Google Classroom. 6th graders (Rm. 107) are completing their robot testbeds and testing out how 'inputs' and 'outputs' work by operating the robot brains with their controllers.
