First graders have been working on a STEM kit extending their learning about the moon from the CKLA astronomy unit they recently finished. Throughout the last week they completed many activities that included testing materials and making a spacesuit that can withstand the heat and cold of the moon and any debris that might hit it. They also took their BeeBots to "the moon" and created codes and programmed their BeeBots to complete various tasks like collecting moon rocks, finding footprints, and getting home. #lesinspire #misdinspire
