Reading and robotics collided in this exciting kindergarten STEAM lesson! We read Chester Van Chime Who Forgot How to Rhyme, with students jumping in to complete the rhymes while Novel Effect added engaging sound effects. Then, they coded Kaibot to find rhyming pairs, using post-it notes with beginning sounds as guides and counting and subtraction to navigate. Literacy, math, and coding all in one lesson!
First graders have had a blast this week celebrating Dr. Seuss and Read Across America! They wrapped up the week by creating Oobleck from Dr. Seuss's book Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Is it solid? Is it liquid? Ask the kids!
