The BBLC has been the place to be! 2nd grade visited to learn about our Lego kits and practice coding. 5th grade is enjoying our wrapped books- I am loving the discussion of what to choose and how to choose. There are just a few left!
Today began the BBLC's inaugural wrapped book event! Students in grades 4th & 5th can explore wrapped books, read a short summary, and look for some key themes. If they choose a book, they make a commitment to read it all the way through and fill out a short review! We can't wait to discover some "new" favorites! #dontjudgeabookbyitscover
4th grade is coding the Chisholm Trail and hitting roadblocks like tornadoes, stampedes, and drought! Will the get their cattle through the drive?
Winter Olympics in PE! (Torch relay, Speed Skating, Curling, Bobsled, Skeleton, and Skiing) The students had so much fun!
Recently 4th grade got their hands on some robots! To expand their recent lessons, students were able to bring Dash Robots and the ozobots into the classroom to complete projects. Students used the ozobots to connect to their Earth & Space unit researching and learning about Katherine Johnson and how she used her incredible math skills to help launch a rocket to the moon. #STEAM #MISDSTEAM @McKinneyISD
Thank you North Texas Municipal Water Distrcit for your presentation called "Water 4 Otters"! Our students understand why water conversation and keeping out water clean is so important!

This bear saved her Bear Bucks for a coupon at the Bear Mart for "lunch and games with the Principals"! We played "Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza"!
