Mrs. Auxier’s kinders are learning the expectations for explore time and how to compromise when they get to choose materials as a table. #TeamOldham #victoryintheclassroom #SOAR

5th graders are practicing computational thinking with the game Guess Who? Students are studying the attributes of the characters to identify patterns. They will use their findings to develop an algorithm for winning. #TeamOldham #victoryintheclassroom #SOAR

This friend is lighting up our growth mindset board today! During a challenge, he kept taking deep breathes and saying, “This is hard, but I’m not giving up!” #TeamOldham #victoryintheclassroom #SOAR

Thank you to the Cantway family for donating a wooden marble run set to each STEM table! They are already a new explore time favorite. Holy cow! They are more challenging than they look. Ms. Garrett’s kinders are helping Mrs. Bohn figure out how they work. #TeamOldham

These students are lighting up the growth mindset board! To be prepared for all possibilities, they had to recreate or revise their algorithm to win Guess Who multiple times. Each time their encountered a problem, they stayed calm and tried again! #TeamOldham

These two groups developed the most effective algorithms for winning Guess Who in Mrs. Allen’s class! #TeamOldham #victoryintheclassroom #SOAR

This student is lighting up our growth mindset board! She was unsure how to animate her video game hero to walk. She looked at examples then redesigned until she got it! #TeamOldham #victory

Mrs. Terry’s 3rd graders are playing the video game classic, Pong. Students are being challenged to use Scratch to create their own version. #TeamOldham #victoryintheclassroom #SOAR

This student is lighting up our growth mindset board. Even though she has never played Mario, she is not letting that stand in her way as a game designer. She is looking at example levels, using the elements dictionary and asking lots of questions! #TeamOldham #SOAR

Some of Mrs. Jensen’s students are ready for peer feedback on their Mario level rough drafts. They will go back and redesign parts of their level based on the feedback the receive. #TeamOldham #victoryintheclassroom #SOAR
