Here Ss are reading a short passage and then constructing their own ending to the story using #Legos . Then had Ss give an oral presentation describing their build/ending. Alt, there’s a template that lets Ss write/type their description. Templates & more in my new book #BrickByBrickLearning

So if I could create my own land at Disney it would be DuckTales themed! This is part of the Theme Park Project I’m designing for my STEAM class and why we need your empty cereal boxes! Students will get to design their own theme park and create a diorama similar to mine. #STEAM #EduSky #Disney

Started my next Disney Imagineering book as I continue my obsession with Theme Park design and instructional design! #STEAM #Disney #imagineering #EduSky

This week in STEAM students are learning how to program sequences in sequential order using the DASH robots. This is their first time using the Dash Robots and they are doing fantastic and having a blast! #STEAM #EduSky

I’m literally planning lessons for upcoming classes where students will design their own theme park, with the help of an awesome program offered by Disney! It’s literally on my schedule tomorrow, imagineering research! Love this job! @meehanedu.bsky.social @mrmatera.bsky.social #STEAM

Nothing like showing up back at work for your first day of the year and find that your boss ordered a new toy for you and your students to explore! 3Doodler, a 3 dimensional printing pen! And there’s a class set! #Steam Hanford Dole Elementary School Rowan-Salisbury Schools #EduSky

Come see me & other awesome educators @unccharlotte.bsky.social for the Carolina Stem Conference of 2025 on Jan 3rd. Learn how to use LEGOs in any of the four major content areas & walk away with free resources and hands on practice! #STEAM #UNCC #STEMeducation #EduSky

Slowly but surely, 4th grade LEGO Team is knocking it out of the park! Students were given a map and then I place LEGO mines in their path making them measure angles, rotations, cm’s, and time to weave their way to safety! Way to go! I’m so proud of your work effort! #STEAM #EduSky #LEGO

Did you know the A in STEAM stands for Art? Design and Art principles is part of our focus in STEAM not just robotics. Today we learned about stencils to help us design winter holiday art work! #STEAM #EduSky

Sometimes lessons don’t go the way you planned and you have to pivot. However, it was well worth the detour to see this student find success, engagement and wee bit of fun. A single moment can turn a day right side up, and this was it for me today! #STEAM #EduSky

Getting to work with robots is fun and exciting, no doubt. But it’s so much more than play. Students are learning problem solving strategies that will help them in any class! These are called computational thinking! Loops, rectangles, decomposition oh my! #STEAM

Spotted this in the hallway today on the shoutouts board. Means more than they probably realize. Love Hanford Dole and RSS. #STEAM #EduSky

Coaching a LEGO robotics team has been one of the best experiences of my career! #STEAM #LEGO #Robotics @edusky.bsky.social #edusky

It’s official! Found out today, I’ll be speaking/presenting at NCTIES 2025 in Raleigh! My session is called “LEGO Imagineering”, come out and see me and all the other amazing speakers in March! Proud to be representing Rowan-Salisbury Schools and Hanford Dole Elementary School !

Enjoying and learning lots from @jorgedoespbl.bsky.social book on robotics and computational thinking in my STEAM classroom. #STEAM #LEGO #Robotics
