    Science TEKS- Long Strand Concepts with Essence Statements K-12 K-2.1.B create original products using a variety of resources; Gardening TEK-  K-2.1.B create original products using a variety of resources; Gardening Topic: Investigating the different organisms that would make up our gardening ecosystem(How will they interact with one another? Which are producers, consumers?) Materials Needed:  - Cricut bumble bee design - Fake Flowers - Pipe cleaners - Ground Up Chalk for the Pollen - Glue Stick Gardening Maker Space Hero Journey: ISTE CT Standards 3a :  Model and learn with students how to formulate  computational solutions  to problems and how to give and receive actionable feedback. Students will watch a video of how a bee pollinates a flower.  Students will formulate their own computational solutions to problems consumers can cause in a garden. 3b :  Apply effective teaching strategies to support student collaboration around computing...

                                        EXIT TICKET FOR OCTOBER 10th      I found the iCreate lab very interesting and useful. I am a very crafty person and am very excited to use this for future. My partner and I have decided to use the Cricut as well as the Roland for stickers.  TEK: Art, 3rd Grade - 2C: Produce drawings; paintings; prints; sculpture, including modeled forms; and other art forms such as ceramics, fiber art, constructions, mixed media, installation art, digital art and media, and photographic imagery using a variety of materials. The Roland- we will be making dragonfly stickers to show that dragonflies are part of the garden. The Cricut- we will be making a 3D paper image of dragonfly for the students to hold and imagine what a dragonfly looks like.

  TEK: Art, 3rd Grade - 2C: Produce drawings; paintings; prints; sculpture, including modeled forms; and other art forms suchs as ceramics, fiber art, constructions, mixed media, installation art, digital art and media, and photographic imagery using a variety of materials. I love being creative and I actually own my own business being creative. I also take lots of pictures of my bonus son's football team when they are playing. I love being creative and taking lots of pictures of my family. 

  Metro E Reflection The experience at Metro E was fantastic! My partner and I worked with 4th & 5th grade students. We had a few issues, but we were able to figure them out by ourselves. The first issue we had was that our drone did not want to connect to the device that we were using. The issue was that we were too close to each other, and the drones were connecting to other devices. My partner and I decided to have the children that were in our group use the drone simulator. The children really enjoyed the simulator because they were still able to fly the drone and put their own code in. After we completed our WeDo 2.0 lab we were able to get the drone to work. The battery needed to be changed and then it started to work again. The children got really excited to see the drone in action. The WeDo 2.0 lab went perfect. Ice Cube was functioning correctly and did exactly what he was supposed to do. The only issue we came across was that the table was not...

  Materials Needed: Drone Number cards (1 to 6) open outdoor space (like a schoolyard or playground) Safety cones or markers/paper A tablet or smartphone with the drone control app Start Card Finish Card Activity Steps: Introduction (10 minutes): Gather the children in a circle and introduce the concept of the activity. Explain that they will learn about numbers from 1 to 6 while a drone flies over them. Discuss the safety rules, such as staying away from the drone and listening to instructions. Number Recognition Game (15 minutes): Show the children the number cards from 1 to 6. Have them practice recognizing and saying each number out loud as a group. You can make this interactive by asking them to take turns holding up the cards and identifying the numbers. Drone Demonstration (10 minutes): Provide a brief overview of the drone's features, emphasizing safety and how to use the drone control app. Demonstrate how the drone can fly up and down and move forward and backward. Setting...

               Today Mia and I chose to do the "Make a Sound Machine". We have decided to name our machine after a very famous rapper "Ice Cube". Our sound machine makes quite a few different noises. We could not figure out how to create it exactly how the picture of the example looks. We were able to have it change colors as well as and even move.  ISTE: 5b) Empower Students to select personally meaningful computational projects.   5.1 b) Learn to recognize where and how computation can be used to enrich data or content to solve discipline-specific problems and be able to connect these opportunities to foundational CT practices and CS concepts.  5.5 c) Use a variety of instructional approaches to help students frame problems in ways that can be represented as computational steps or algorithms to be performed by a computer.   For more info: https://education.lego.com/en-us/lessons/maker-elementary/make-a-sou...
