We Will Rock 2!

Welcome to Mrs. Lang's classroom!

Maker Spaces

March22

I hope you all had a wonderful March Break, the kids certainly told me lots of exciting stories yesterday and by afternoon, there were many tired eyes and yawns….me too!

Two projects they’ve been very excited about during our spaces time is making marble runs using a pizza box and making robots with small boxes. Always amazed at what they create, I’m in awe of some of their ideas. The marble runs are becoming more complicated with tunnels and ramps, very cool! I’m not sure I’ll have enough tape to last the year with all their creations! They love it so much more than glue!

The robots are interesting! I’ve shown some of them how to take the box apart and back together so that the labeling ends up on the inside. That led to a little discussion about nets for geometric shapes. I love how all of this intertwines with other areas of the curriculum. In their notebooks, they write a description about them and also present them to the class.

They take the pictures so they might be a wee blurry!
