April 17: Classroom Happenings, Family STEM Night - Programming Party! / 17 de abril: Sucesos en el aula, Noche STEM en familia - ¡Fiesta de programación!

 April 25 from 6-7 will be our final Family STEM Night--Programming Party! Learn how to program robots just like your children do. I hope toWant to learn more about the creative strategies we use to teach skills like programming? Join us for a student-led STEM Family Night and try programming a variety of robots yourself!


5th Grade students created nose cones and fins in STEM to help make their film canister rockets they made in class more aerodynamic. As always with this group, there was a lot of thoughtful engineering and a solid helping of team spirit as you will see in our pictures. 5th Grade Rockets

1st Grade continues to work on sound in their classroom unit planner, so we are using the engineering design process to learn about how to block sound waves. Their challenge is to build a structure for my phone that causes the smallest decibel reading on it when we make noise outside of the structure. They are working really hard to test and modify. 1st Grade Sound Build

5th and 3rd Grade are continuing to work on their green screen projects, and you will see examples of those next week:) They have developed their story boards and scripts, and now we are taking turns to film.

Tell your friends and neighbors about Family STEM Night! It's your chance to play with some of the things you have seen videos and pictures of.

El 25 de abril de 6-7 será nuestra última Noche Familiar STEM--¡Fiesta de Programación! Aprenda a programar robots como lo hacen sus hijos. ¿Quieres aprender más sobre las estrategias creativas que utilizamos para enseñar habilidades como la programación? Únase a nosotros para una Noche Familiar STEM dirigida por estudiantes y ¡pruebe a programar una variedad de robots usted mismo!




Los estudiantes de 5º grado crearon conos de nariz y aletas en STEM para ayudar a hacer más aerodinámicos sus cohetes de bote de película que hicieron en clase. Como siempre con este grupo, había un montón de ingeniería reflexiva y una sólida ayuda de espíritu de equipo como se verá en nuestras fotos. Cohetes de 5º

1er Grado continúa trabajando en el sonido en su planificador de la unidad de aula, por lo que estamos utilizando el proceso de diseño de ingeniería para aprender acerca de cómo bloquear las ondas sonoras. Su reto es construir una estructura para mi teléfono que cause la menor lectura de decibelios en él cuando hacemos ruido fuera de la estructura. Están trabajando muy duro para probar y modificar. 1er Grado Sound Build

5º y 3º Grado siguen trabajando en sus proyectos de pantalla verde, y verán ejemplos de ellos la próxima semana:) Han desarrollado sus story boards y guiones, y ahora estamos tomando turnos para filmar.

¡Cuéntale a tus amigos y vecinos sobre la Noche Familiar de STEM! Es vuestra oportunidad de jugar con algunas de las cosas de las que habéis visto vídeos e imágenes.

August 30-September 3: Lego Challenges, Landslides, and Device Care

 Hello, everyone! Please watch the video below for an update on what we have been doing in the STEM classroom! STEM meets twice a week for 30 minutes. PS, I forgot to mention the really cool landslide engineering / exploration fourth grade did earlier this week. Such a great project and really relevant with all of the rain and landslides this summer!  September 3 STEM Video Newsletter STEM Wish List aluminum tops of frozen juice containers toilet paper tubes cardboard gently used markers 20 oz. bottle tops

Welcome to STEM!

Dear Panther Families, I am so excited to be a part of your Frisco Elementary teaching faculty, and I’m excited to work with your children in STEM class! STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, and our class explores the process of engineering design, and we collaborate with teachers to connect classroom activities to real life careers. We will learn and practice good digital citizenship, too. Wait until you see the tools we will use to imagine, build, and reimagine! I come to you from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, a town between Madison and Milwaukee. My husband Jason and I have two children. Our daughter Alex is a junior at Indiana-Bloomington, and our son Brendan is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (my alma mater! Go, Badgers!). We love live music, running, hiking, and skiing, much like everyone else in this beautiful county. Professionally, I have taught six years of third grade, two years of fourth grade, and seven years of sixth grade, three y...

December 17: Turkey Day 5K - Wow!, STEM Happenings

  Happy Holidays!    Lego credit goes to Naomi in 5th Grade! STEM Newsletter Watch this five minute video about STEM happenings. Here is the second part of that video . Photos from the STEM Lab Kindergarten Legos 1st Grade Dash Programming 4th Grade Marshmallow Family Vehicle Safety Features Build 5th Grade STEM Choice Week NutKases! I will be requesting NutKases for grades 3 and 4 when we come back from break. If you would like to put in an order before then , here is the link to do so. NutKases are fabulously protective of your child's technology, and as I have been sharing, most damage will be waived, if we know your child has the case on when damage occurs.  If you have already requested one, please ask your child if it is on their Chromebook. Some of the older students have them, but they are sometimes a little resistant to using them.  You can clean the outside of the Chromebook and the keyboard with wipes or a damp cloth. There have been a few cases wher...
