THE IMAGES BELOW ARE REPEATED FROM FRIDAY'S ANNOUNCEMENTS IMAGINATION 2ND GRADE OZOBOT STEAM CLASS - RANKIN STEAM teacher, Ms. Rankin, brought mini programmable robots into Ms. Koldys’ 2nd-grade classroom. The robots were designed to follow clear and wide lines drawn in color on paper. They produce light that mimics the colored line they are passing over. In addition, the robots can be triggered to make different movement and light flashing patterns if they pass over specific line patterns. Towards the end of class, the kids discovered that if they wrote their names boldly in cursive the robots would follow their pen stroke accurately. Link to 24 Pictures. Link to 1-minute video showing the Ozobots in action. CAKE SURPRISE Wendy from the Abbey made enough chocolate cake with strawberry icing on Thursday (1-20-2022) for all the students and staff members. It was received with joy. Link to 16 Pictures.

BOOKS TO CONSIDER READING FROM OUR LIBRARY Have you set a goal for yourself in the new year? January is a great time to make a resolution and this month we will be highlighting books in our library that focus on goal setting and growth. When Judy discovers Grandma Lou's "bucket list," she comes up with her own list of things to accomplish before the fourth grade. That list leads Judy into an array of outlandish situations, but she can't help but wonder what it means that her grandmother's list is nearly complete.
Mia must learn the hard way that being a team player is more important than winning or losing when she quits the soccer team because she couldn't score a goal. |
WINTER SPORTS NOTE: Previously scheduled games for 1/24, 1/26, and 1/28 against Alburg have been canceled. Alburg has canceled the remainder of their basketball season due to COVID.
