Willow Room students turned their classroom into a Makerspace of their own! Using the basics of the Design Thinking Model, students brainstormed ideas for gadgets they could make, discussed the materials they could use, sketched out their ideas, and then got to building! They created some amazing contraptions using recycled, everyday materials and loved the process from start to finish. We can't wait to see what these Early Childhood students create one day in our Elementary Makerspace—they are already displaying...

Recently, students in Sequoia explored coding using fun, programmable robots called BeeBots. The students delighted in giving the Beebots instructions (code) to get from one end of the mat to the other. They began their coding exploration with simple instructions on how to use the buttons on the backs of their Beebots to code their robots.

During the winter break, our amazing teachers in Cypress Room did some classroom rearranging! The children were surprised to see the "new classroom" and played as if it was their first day of school. "I've never played here before!" one student said. They have been enjoying counting with red pegs, looking for golden coins at the sensory station, hopping with frogs at the large wooden table, and making colorful designs using marbles on a Chinese checkerboard....
