Shout Out to this group from our Morning News Crew! The beginning of school is busy for all staff. We havenโ€™t got our recording schedule set up yet or all of our team back together. I just couldnโ€™t break away from beginning school tasks to help them. These girls set up and recorded our weekโ€™s morning news โ€œon-the-fly.โ€ They are such a big help to me! Great job girls! The future looks bright!

There are eight books in this series and they were inspiration for our origami bookmark station. โฃ
Students used origami instructions and art items such as googley-eyes, stickers, markers, and emoji cutouts to design their own origami bookmark. The bookmarks have a pocket that fit on the corner of the book page.
โฃ
In each of the books, origami characters inspired by Star Wars, along with others characters Dwight, Tommy, and Sara, navigate middle school in a hilarious and sweet way. โฃ

โฃ
Students used beads and the computer binary coding converter to represent their first and last initials. The coded bracelets were colorful creations by our students. โฃ
โฃ
Binary code is the most basic computer code using only two numbers, zero and one in a series of patterns to create the basic layer of all computing systems and the primary language of digital technologies. โฃThese codes are a โ€œsecretโ€ language understood by computers.
โฃ
Code Talker is a historical fiction book. The story is told by Ned, a Navajo man who joins the Marines and enlist in the code talker program where he is trained to decipher and send messages in his native Navajo language. โฃ
29 Navajo men started in 1942 using their native language to send secret communications to the battlefield. The Marines used these codes to send and receive coded messages quicker and more secure. The Navajo Code was the only military code in modern history to never be broken by the enemy. โฃ
โฃ
Inspiration for bracelets came from: Binary Code Bracelets - Boundless Brilliance https://youtu.be/mqa496HRdrI?si=Gs-2fby-wwz_AuC3

โฃ
The book is about a girl, Coyote and her dad embarking on a long road trip after the death of her mom and sisters. Because of a promise made between them all years ago, Coyote convinces dad to drive back to a park where they previously lived to retrieve the memory box buried there long ago by the sisters and their mom. The road trip includes some interesting characters who are given rides along the way who contribute to the heartwarming story. โฃ
โฃ
Our students used Construction Straws to build any form of transportation they wanted for a possible road trip. We hade cars, helicopters, rockets, and planes built. Some were very creative building a skateboard/scooter, a time machine, and even Mary Poppinโ€™s umbrella. The instructions were something for transportation. They all fit the directions.
