Our third graders and their families enjoyed the "Literacy Lunch" today. Typically, we'd be outside, but with the wet ground, everyone made the best of it and found a location inside!
Students have been working hard on being a Hurricane HERO in order to earn Robot Revival in the library. All classes have succeeded and have just started to experience Robot Revival. Students get to experience 8 different robots, which include Beebots, Indi, Hexbugs, Botley, Sphero, Dash, Ozobot and Artie Max. This experience has been made possible by a Sioux Falls Public School Education Foundation grant.
4th graders had the perfect day for ‘South Dakota Survivor’ Friday. We earned points with team challenges including Pioneer Games, a Timeline Challenge, Native American games, Identifying Furs & Even building a tipi with the Old CourtHouse Museum!
