Winged Wonders: Exploring Coding and Alphabet Magic with Finches in K-2 STEM 🤖🐦
K-2 students from Mrs. LeAnne Johnson Stocks, Ms. Annie Joe Cothren, and Ms. Tasha Bumgarner Sweet classes from Sugar Loaf learned to code Finch robots today. Using the STEM alphabet, students discovered the building blocks of coding as they crafted words with their Finch. Each letter displays a STEM word, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning about STEM. Students loved learning how to program the Finch using the sounds and lights features too.

Wittenburg Wildcats Rocked it Out🤘 Collaboratively, Mrs. Jessica Esposito, Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Fox, and Mrs. Wright designed an engaging station rotation lesson that immersed students in the world of North Carolina rocks. 🌍 Learners actively explored, zoomed, virtually dissected rocks, text features, and real-world applications, using MERGE Cubes to journey into a world of geological marvels. With stunning 3D imagery and augmented reality, those rocks burst to life right before their eyes! They also were able to hold, shake, and look at the real rocks too!🪨💥

1.3.c Curate Information
Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.
