We have some new additions in our libraries, labs and classrooms! The district received two Cubetto sets (top image) that are traveling between our three K-2 buildings. During weekly computer lab time, students are introduced to Cubetto and basic computer programming skills, then students get hands-on time with that equipment. Cubetto, besides being fun, teaches grid maps, basic computer coding, logic and problem solving. So far, Cubetto is a big hit! Our 3-5 buildings similarly received four Sphero SPRK+ robots (bottom image) that travel. Students are coding in the computer lab using the Sphero Edu app, then running their programs (coding) using Sphero SPRK+ and Chromebooks. Again, students are learning (more advanced) computer coding as well as using their math and logic skills. CJHS has a variety of new options, coming soon to Mrs. George's and Mr. Ame's labs as well as the STEAM maker spaces in the school library. Ask your students about these!
