🔬 5th Grade Scientists Explore Microorganisms! 🦠🎈 Our 5th graders put their scientific thinking to the test with a fun and eye-opening experiment! They mixed yeast, warm water, and sugar in a graduated cylinder and sealed it with a balloon. As the yeast fed on the sugar, it released carbon dioxide, inflating the balloon before their eyes! 🎈✨ This hands-on activity helped students discover how microorganisms can be helpful, like in baking bread or making medicine. But the learning doesn’t stop there! Next, they’ll dive into the other side of microorganisms—exploring how some can be harmful, causing disease or food spoilage. Science is all about exploration, questioning, and making connections to the world around us! Ask your young scientist what they have been learning! 🧪🔍 #5thGradeScientists #MicroorganismsMatter #HelpfulAndHarmful #STEMLearning #ScienceInAction

Mrs. Francis attended the FETC Future of Education Technology Conference and brought back an exciting tool—CoSpaces Edu! 🎉 Her students took on the challenge of creating "About Me" presentations in Spanish using this powerful 3D platform. They built immersive virtual environments, designed interactive scenes, and while coding was an optional part of the project, many students chose to bring their creations to life with code! 💻✨ As students started coding, Instructional Technology Coordinator Mrs. Keyfauver stopped in to support them, helping them explore new possibilities and refine their skills. 🚀 One standout moment came from Ramon, who said, "I didn’t even know I could code." 💡 It turns out that he is amazing at it! 🔥 Watching students discover their hidden talents through technology is what learning is all about! Through CoSpaces Edu, students: ✅ Created their "About Me" presentations in Spanish, incorporating required language elements ✅ Designed 3D virtual environments to enhance their presentations ✅ (Optional) Used CoBlocks (a block-based coding language) to add animations to their scenes ✅ (Optional) Explored additional coding features to bring interactivity to their virtual worlds This is innovation in education at its finest! 👏👏👏 Hats off to Mrs. Francis for embracing new technology and empowering her students in such a creative way! 🎨💡
