Finish experiments & Introduce Drone coding
Finish experiments & Introduce Drone coding
Today we were missing over half our class due to band concerts and field trips, so it was a slow, chill day in the GATE room. Students who were here were able to finish their experiments and experimental design presentations. Then we finished the day exploring the DroneBlock Simulator, which is free for the month of December! I encourage all students (especially those who missed today) to tinker around on the simulator this week so that they can develop a basic understanding of how the block coding platform is used to control the drones we will be using for our 3rd quarter unit. The simulator is linked above and on the Google Classroom.
ISO: Experts!
ISO: Experts!
I'm on the hunt for a few experts to join our class in person or via video chat. If you or someone you know would be interested, please let me know!
Professional(s) who use microscopy or microbiology in their work to teach the 5th graders about their job [Needed sometime before winter break]
A professional who know a lot about brains! (Bonus if you have any way to show the 4th graders a human brain...) [Needed sometime before winter break]
Someone who uses drones for their work (or potentially recreation) to talk about their job with the 5th graders (Bonus if you could fly for us!) [Needed during 3rd quarter]

As we begin our school year and face new challenges, we are seeking new ways to enrich your child's education both in person and virtually. Our current wish list includes a set of classroom cameras (~$100 ea) and Rubiks Cubes ($12)! Please click on the link below to donate to my Boise Foundation Account. [LOWELL/GATE/GABRIELLI,AUDREY]
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY DONATED!
IT WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE RIGHT AWAY!
