Some serious Bibliomancy happening this morning for me. Every time I pick up this book it happens. Every time... I learn something new about myself and the world around me. Charts on pg 65-66 this time. #iykyk #EduSky #EduSkyChat

Today, we continued our Minecraft Edu work in 3rd grade where students built Museum artifacts and replicated history to teach others. It was day 2, and they are already cross training each other, spawning and editing NPCs.
