Thank you, @MiSTEM and @STEMatSVSU for the opportunities that your mini-grant is providing for our students at K.C. Ling and Hemlock Elementary. This week, 2nd-4th grade students learned to write algorithms using block coding. While programming Dash and Dot to do a variety of tasks, students worked together to troubleshoot any "bugs" that they came across and to discover where loops could be used to shorten their algorithms.

4th graders have spent this semester in STEAM designing and building a theme park. Many of the projects turned out larger than anticipated and would be difficult to bring home on the bus. If your student wishes to bring their project home, please e-mail Mrs. Schmidt at schmidt@hemlockps.com. She will work out a time with you to have the project picked up or dropped off to you. (There is no rush on this - projects will be saved until the end of the school year, if need be.) A picture can also be e-mailed home instead if pick-up or drop-off is not an option. :)
