January Updates: 2nd grade scholars finished their beehive designs and got to take home their 3D printed beehive! They did a phenomenal job learning Tinkercad at such a young age. I'm so proud of their perseverance! Cannon Cubs

January Updates: 1st grade designed derby cars out of Rok Blocks. They had to identify the coins that went with each piece of their design and add up the total cost of all of their materials. We then raced them and had a discussion about friction and balanced weight.Cannon Cubs

3rd grade scholars are working on designing parking garages. They were given the total amount of spaces for the three levels all together and the first level. Using their math strategies, they chose how many spaces would be able to fit on the 2nd and 3rd levels. Cannon Cubs

Cannon Cubs is PROUD to partner with @comptiaspark! We are SPARKING an interest in TECH and CONFIDENCE for LIFE! ☮️❤️🐻

Today is Texas Girls in STEM Day. Shoutout to these STEMbassadors ❤️ I'm so proud and honored to work alongside these Texas Girls in STEM that lead our mission and vision so well. Cannon Cubs #becannonproud

Kinder Updates: Kinder Cubs learned about 2D shapes by creating their own robot designs. Cannon Cubs

Kinder Update: Kinder Cubs used their knowledge of stable shapes of structures to save the Little Billy Goats Gruff from the troll under the bridge. Cannon Cubs

Kinder Update: For Earth Week, Kinder Cubs designed flowers and sold them to learn about financial literacy and income. Cannon Cubs

First Grade Update: We read the book, "What the Dinosaurs Did Last Night: A Very Messy Adventure" and first grade cubs had to use their knowledge of plot and using details in writing to write an alternate ending to the story. I loved seeing their creativity!! Cannon Cubs

First Grade Update: For Earth Week, First Grade Cubs learned about caves and cave animals. Did you know a lot of cave animals are blind and do not have eyes? We then designed models of our favorite cave animals.

First Grade Update: First Grade Cubs learned about symmetry. They designed their own creations of symmetry using Legos with a partner. These designs were amazing! Cannon Cubs

Second Grade Update: We read the book "When Sparks Fly: The True Story of Robert Goddard, the Father of US Rocketry" and created a mosaic or 3D design to retell the life of Robert Goddard. Cannon Cubs

Second Grade Update: Second Grade Cubs learned about earthquakes. We built an earthquake simulator, programmed it, and built structures to see if they were stable enough for the earthquake.

Third Grade Update: Third Grade Cubs have been practicing their inferencing skills. They created a digital piece that contained clues about their scene. They presented their scene and other scholars made inferences about what was happening in the scene. Cannon Cubs

Fourth Grade Update: Fourth Grade Cubs have been practicing their equivalent fractions in Applied STEM! They designed a landscape and calculated the fraction of each color. They then found an equivalent fraction for each color. Cannon Cubs

Fourth Grade Update: We were so excited to see the total solar eclipse that we wanted to research all of the misconceptions people have about solar eclipses. Fourth grade Cubs researched about eclipses to find evidence to prove that the statements were misconceptions. Cannon Cubs

Fourth Grade Update: For Earth Week, fourth grade cubs found innovative solutions for human's impact on Earth. They defined the problem they chose and then came up innovative solutions to help the problem they found. Cannon Cubs

Fifth Grade Cubs have been using their math knowledge to come up with two new lunches for our Cafe. They found the items' calories, made sure it was in the limit the National School Lunch Nutrition Standards, calculated the total calories for class and grade level. Cannon Cubs

First Lego League is off to a great start! ⁦Heather Hagar⁩ ⁦Cannon Cubs⁩ #FLL
