Science - Forces & Motion
Students created their own Discovery board based on criteria the class came up with and agreed upon. They used a padlet to keep track of progress and linked their One Note file as a live document that is where they were curating their research. The board was their method of sharing their research & showing their learning.

Each grade level made plans for hands-on STEM lessons the last week of school. First grade is planning to do a water day, camping day, and amusement park day, with each lesson being written as a PBL that could be expanded in the future (possibly with STEM summer olympics or something). Third grade is doing a super hero theme: creating the tallest skyscraper, strongest spier web, longest bridge, paper airplane that flies the farthest

Iditarod Board - Students worked in groups of 3 (each w/ an assigned role) to learn more about the Iditarod. They had questions to guide them through the project but were given flexibility to move throughout board to complete the tasks. Students were excited to explore the resources and seemed to understand their roles well enough to work independently. This also gave them a chance to click around and learn the interface (closing tabs or pop-up windows when necessary).
