The use of Susan could also have been the original plan if Drake was able to return and this Queen of the night story would have been the perfect way of John coming back and rescuing her. But, Drake will be fighting and guiding her from above. They will always have a strong spiritual connection.

Remember the writers wrote John's death with the hope that he would be able to return someday. They left various Easter eggs throughout like the coin and then it went missing. That was probably going to be used if Drake ended up beating the cancer.

The little light up storybook villages created by my circuit elective students for Fantasy week turned out really cute. Some designs were still in progress when I snapped the pictures. #FantasyWeek #STEAM #CircuitsGalore

It is so fun to light up! Having a flat foam piece for the battery to lay on was key because it is a rounded stick not a flat surface like a popsicle stick. It lit up some of the time but not all the time my first go around because the battery was not connecting to the maker tape firmly.

Yeah not really cool to do an April fools episode when Drake was fighting for his life but we will find out for sure tomorrow. Drake gave his blessing on the storyline so maybe he wanted to add a little bit of humor.

It's the April fools episode tomorrow so probably a fake plant or something to throw them off course.

This was fun! Thanks for sharing the idea.

Some first grade lanterns before we added the pipe cleaners for the handles. Students learned about circuitry and then made a light strip to clip inside their lanterns. Their sister country is Japan so we also make these to tie into their studies. #MakerEd #STEAM #EdTech

2nd Grade Robots (24-25) - Finch Meets Carnival of the Animals Finch Meets Carnival of the Animals 2nd Grade Robots copy Exploring and Interpreting Music through the Lens of Robotics

Our Carnival of the Animals unit has come to a close. Last week, the students had their final showcase sharing their movement/dance sequences they coded for their specific animal from the symphony. I was blown away by their creativity and innovative thinking. docs.google.com/presentation...

3 more for the following movements. Hens and Roosters 🐔, Pianists (penguin🐧) and Fossils (dinosaur 🦕).

Some more of our animals, tortoise 🐢 and swan 🦢

Thanks!

I am amazed at the students creativity! Finch animals for our Carnival of the Animals unit are coming together. Check out elephant 🐘 and lion 🦁. #Robotics #lego #designthinking

So cool!! Thanks for sharing!

I like Padlet Sandbox very intuitive and easy to use. Our 5th and 6th graders use MacBooks so I have also seen them use the Freeform app as a collaborative whiteboard and brainstorming tool option. It can also be used on the ipad.

It didn't post this picture in the main post. Here is the challenge the students will be doing.

One of my goals this year is to connect more of our tech curriculum with music. We are about to start our Finch robot review soon, so I thought about designing a unit that integrates the Carnival of the Animals symphony. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Flashback to the 22-23 school year. Sampling of butterflies my 1st graders made with @3Doodler pens. We turned them into magnets. They did such a great job. #edtech #3Dprinting
