Students used the engineering process to design and construct structures made from popsicle sticks.  First, they researched different ideas of what to build, then they made their models.  Finally, they evaluated their designs and improved them.

Seventh Grade students designed Nativity Scenes in Tinkercad using basic shapes.  These designs were later 3D printed.

Seventh Grade students have been reading Animal Farm and learning about propaganda.  To show their understand of the concept, students designed buttons in Canva for their desired animal candidate.  The students then enjoyed making their buttons and trading some with their friends.

Seventh graders were able to share their stop motion stories with PreK 4 students.  The students loved the stories and enjoyed being read to by the seventh graders.

Students used Google Slides to create a Christmas Story Stop Motion in Google Slides.  Students copied their slides and moved their characters a small amount in each slide.  The resulting effect is that the characters look like they are moving as you click through the slides.  They will be sharing their stories with Preschool students before Christmas Break.

Seventh grade students were able to chose passion projects to start off the year. They chose to bake bread, cakes, cookies, brownies, and pizza.  They began by researching the supplies they needed.  They were then able to make their food and enjoy it at a celebration at the end of the day.   Some students even brought in ingredients and supplies to make Conchas (Mexican sweet bread)!
