Ms. Kellerman used three different music apps with the K1 and K2 students. The apps are geared to allow the kids to learn beats, patterns, sounds of various instruments, and much more. One of the apps, Loopimal, actually involves block coding!

Grade 6 Science Project: The Human Impact on Climate Change Students participated in a primary research project across the entire 6th grade to discover how much waste is generated during Middle School lunch over two weeks. Researchers circulated the lunchroom in shifts collecting data about the amount and types of used plastics, how many students ordered which lunches, and how much edible food is discharged each day. After aggregating the data, students used what they know about climate change to engage in a design thinking sprint to design a solution to a problem revealed by the data. Middle school math teachers took the data and used it as an authentic way to help students visualize volume and scale & proportion.
