Team WOW - White Oak Elementary and D.F. Walker Elementary

What an amazing second week of Reading Camp! Our students have continued to grow as readers through engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and opportunities to build confidence in their literacy skills.

Congratulations to Colton Byrum and Xander Holley for PERFECT ATTENDANCE!

Our robotic camp students used Sphero Indi and Strawbees to think, tinker, and overcome challenges — supporting each other like true engineers. From problem-solving to celebrating small wins, the room was full of curiosity and grit.

Reading Camp got off to an amazing start last week! Our students jumped right back into learning with enthusiasm and curiosity. We can't wait to see all the growth and excitement that this week will bring.

Curious what Day 2 of K–1 Robotic Camp looked like? 🤩 Our campers teamed up to code Indi through a “camping trip,” designed tree-level obstacles, and invented new routes for Indi to explore. They also learned to control Dash in a high-energy robot race and collaborated to build a marble run from PVC pipe. 🌲🤖🏁

Day 1 of K–1 Robotic Camp! We played with Sphero Indi and Dash, learned what “debug” means (fixing the problem), and cheered every time our code came to life. Seeing tiny hands problem-solve was priceless.
