Our classroom is now equipped with a new doorbell thanks to littleBits and a little help from our 5th grade GATE students. Operation Doorbell is now complete and in working order. These kiddos have enjoyed this so much. We even have our own doorbell "password". It is top secret! :)
We
have adopted some new technology into our classroom. Meet Ollie, our
new "class pet". Ollie can do all kinds of neat things. We
control Ollie with an app on our iPad. We hope you enjoy these fun
videos! Dr. Sims and Officer Morgan were good sports! No one was injured during these demonstrations. :)
Meet Osmo. Osmo is also controlled with our iPad. Osmo is a gaming system that allows our students to play 3 hands-on games. These games include pattern building with tangrams (Tangram), problem solving with drawing instruments (Newton) and vocabulary and word building with letter tiles (Words). In the picture below, students are playing Newton, the problem solving game.
