☁️ Last week, Mrs. Beckstead’s class explored the different types of clouds and the weather each one brings! Students created their own clouds using cotton balls and wrote the type of weather associated with each cloud underneath their creations. This hands-on activity gave students a fun, creative way to connect what they learned about clouds and weather!



☁️ ¡La semana pasada, la clase de Mrs. Beckstead exploró los diferentes tipos de nubes y el clima que trae cada una! Los estudiantes crearon sus propias nubes utilizando bolitas de algodón y escribieron debajo de cada una el tipo de clima asociado con esa nube. ¡Esta actividad práctica les permitió conectar lo que aprendieron sobre las nubes y el clima de una manera divertida y creativa!

STEM Shoutout to Ms. DeLaRosa’s class!

Students worked together to write multi-step word problems in Spanish using a Spanish vocabulary word bank. They collaborated, practiced their math vocabulary, and put their problem-solving skills to work while learning in two languages! Way to work together and SOAR!



¡Reconocimiento STEM para la clase de la Sra. DeLaRosa!

Los estudiantes trabajaron juntos para escribir problemas matemáticos de varios pasos en español utilizando un banco de palabras de vocabulario en español. Colaboraron, practicaron el vocabulario matemático y pusieron en práctica sus habilidades para resolver problemas mientras aprendían en dos idiomas. ¡Sigan trabajando juntos y volando alto!

🏘️ Building Towns Through STEM! 🏗️

Ms. Allen’s students have been exploring North Carolina’s geography and learning how location affects the way people live! 🌎 Students designed their own towns based on the region of North Carolina they wanted to live in, describing their town’s climate, physical characteristics, and location.

To bring their ideas to life, students used 3D pens to create a building that would belong in their town! We love seeing students combine geography, creativity, and hands-on learning! 💡



🏘️ ¡Construyendo pueblos a través de STEM! 🏗️

¡Los estudiantes de la clase de la Sra. Allen han estado explorando la geografía de Carolina del Norte y aprendiendo cómo la ubicación influye en la forma en que viven las personas! 🌎 Los estudiantes diseñaron sus propios pueblos según la región de Carolina del Norte donde querían ubicarlos, describiendo el clima, las características físicas y la ubicación de cada pueblo.

¡Para dar vida a sus ideas, utilizaron bolígrafos 3D para crear un edificio que formaría parte de su pueblo! ¡Nos encanta ver cómo nuestros estudiantes combinan la geografía, la creatividad y el aprendizaje práctico! 💡

Several of our Frederick Douglass Elementary School teachers (Ms. Beckstead, Ms. Reyes, Ms. Hayes, and Ms. DeLaRosa) are spending their evening at the monthly ECU STEM Supper Club, learning new ways to bring building, coding, and creativity into the classroom!

This month, teachers are using Hummingbird Robotics Kits, micro:bits, servos, and craft supplies to build and program motorized bees that recreate the bee waggle dance. Yes, there are googly eyes involved, too!

We love seeing our teachers try new things and learn alongside one another as they find creative ways to bring hands-on STEM experiences back to our students.



Varios de nuestros maestros de la Escuela Primaria Frederick Douglass están pasando la tarde en el Club STEM mensual de ECU, aprendiendo nuevas formas de incorporar la construcción, la programación y la creatividad en el salón de clases.

Este mes, los maestros están utilizando kits de robótica Hummingbird, micro:bits, servomotores y materiales para manualidades para construir y programar abejas motorizadas que recrean la danza de comunicación de las abejas. ¡Y sí, también están usando ojitos móviles!

Nos encanta ver a nuestros maestros aprender cosas nuevas y compartir experiencias mientras descubren formas creativas de llevar actividades prácticas de STEM a nuestros estudiantes.
