Thanks Sylvia!



How lucky am I?
This evening I got this wonderful drawing from Sylvia shared with me! She also took the time to update me on some of her learning that she did today! I can't wait to read all about the animals she has been researching for her adaptation inquiry.

Thanks Sylvia - you really are super!

Genius Hour + Tinker time + Makey Makey = AWESOME!

We are loving genius hour! When else would you get to transform your teachers lunch into a keyboard and play pac man?! 

That's just what Joelai and Khin Hla did today when they were learning how to use the makey makey! There was lots of learning to do about circuits and conductors! We tried to make a circuit with pencil drawing but that didn't work, so we used a banana! 

Now the boys know how it works they are going to use the makey makey to prgrame a robot! How cool is that?! 

Check out the boys blog for the latest news on how their project is going!
