Valentine's Day Spirit Week!

Ozobots Visit 6th Grade Science! As a culminating activity to the study of the Inner & Outer Planets, Mrs. Graham visited Mrs. Goldman's 6th grade science classes with the Ozobots. The students used their chromebooks to sync the block code for Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The Ozobots allowed students to see the rate of rotation (day) and the rate of revolution (year) of each planet. The students were also able to test out the coding of the Ozobots, and change colors and sounds Ozobots make.

Congratulations Ladies!

Congratulations Kaleb! THANK YOU for being an AMAZING role model for SMS students!
