Every year during the first week in December, students across the country are exposed to coding. The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. Coding is step by step directions that make all computer websites and applications, video games, too, work. Due to scheduling conflicts we held ours last week in the Washington gym. Students from the high school computer science class came and taught our Kindergarten through 5th grade students about code in stations. It was a great learning and collaborative experience for all. Meanwhile, 2nd graders at Jefferson learned how to code using Kodable. 2nd grade students in Mrs. Eggersgluess's and Mrs. Walsh's room combined math, experimentation, and writing to write a lab report based on number rolls on dice. They learned how to make a hypothesis and then conclude that 6, 7, and 8 should have been rolled most often.
Washington Elementary School always features a spectacular Earth Day celebration where students receive hands on education about taking care of the earth. 4th graders approached this differently by taking care of the Earth through kind words. Enjoy this video! 1st graders at Jefferson in Mrs. Hall's and Mrs. Hein's class gathered pictures and wrote about their grandparents. They then showcased their books made in Book Creator with their grandparents at the Grandparent's Day Celebration.
4th graders at Washington just completed a Wisconsin Exploration unit. Students chose a Wisconsin History topic that they wanted to further investigate and research and then presented their findings through a technology project of their choosing! Check out some of this amazing work!

Guinea Pigs Legos Minecraft Students in Mrs. Hall's and Mrs. Hein's rooms had the opportunity to do a mystery number hangout out with students in Texas. After the students from Texas and Merrill asked a series of yes and no questions to determine each school's mystery number, they asked questions and exchanged information with each other. Students at both Jefferson and Washington have been using their problem solving, collaboration and communication skills to solve puzzles to open locks and find "The Cat's Hat." These skills are imperative for our students to have and they love improving them through these "breakouts." |
