STEAM Cycle 3

My goal this cycle was to learn about and get better acquainted with the students, while still focusing on STEAM concepts.

Take a Selfie

Kindergarten & 1st Grade
We created our own selfie portraits on a smartphone template.  Students drew a picture of themselves and created a background that illustrated whether the selfie was taken indoors or outdoors.  Students used a variety of materials to engineer a base for the new "phone" that would stop it from being floppy, but still fit in a pocket.

Classmate Interviews

2nd & 3rd Grade
Students worked with a partner to record an interview in Photo Booth. When finished, the videos were uploaded to Dropbox.

Word Clouds

4th & 5th Grade
Learning how to upload a jpg or other file will be an essential skill as we use Google Classroom this year.  Students had a choice of 4 word cloud sites to create a word cloud that used words to describe themselves.
