Coding at the Arnone School

Mrs. Page’s 5th grade class is learning to code. The students started off by reading How to Code a Sandcastle by author Josh Funk. This book taught them basic coding language such as looping. The children started off with some unplugged activities and have now moved on to coding with Kibo robots. The children were given maps and had to use their coding knowledge to get from one place to another. 

STEM Night at the Kennedy School in Brockton

On the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 10th, a group of twelve teacher candidates from in the elementary “Block” hosted a STEM night at the Kennedy School in Brockton, MA. They designed hands-on, immersive activities with titles ranging from “Digging for Dinosaurs,” where students channeled their inner paleontologists, to “Build a Boat,” where students tried to make unsinkable vessels. With almost 50 families in attendance, this STEM night was fun for parents, children, and future teachers!
