Makerspace PD

Latimer staff attended an amazing Makerspace PD. Teachers worked on a PBL project, brainstormed together, and used a 3-D pen!

Lawrence Hall of Science

Latimer Lions had a great time with Lawrence Hall of Science. Here are some of the activities they were able to do!

Latimer's annual Cardboard Day!

Life is EGGcellent at Latimer!

Last Friday, second graders had their culminating PBL event, EGG stravaganza!  Classes, families, and community members were invited to celebrate all of the learning that occurred during the 12 week PBL focusing on the driving question, "How can we design a safe and appropriate environment for backyard chickens?"  During the course of this interdisciplinary PBL, students learned about the life cycle of a chicken through egg incubation and watching our classroom chickens grow and develop.  There was also a STEAM challenge designing a coop that would provide for the needs of 5 chickens in a backyard environment.  Students designed coops, built models, and reflected on the process.  Second graders learned about the economics of egg farming and the process that eggs go from the farm to the table, read tons of chicken literature, and enjoyed writing fiction starring chickens!  It was truly a learning EGGsperience of a lifetime! ~Helma Lee

Read-a-thon

Latimer held a week long read-a-thon that ended with an evening event for families. The teachers even did Reader's Theater!

Lawrence Hall of Science

Latimer Lions had an assembly from Lawrence Hall of Science before the vacation. Students also spent  time going to the hands-on stations. A fun time was had by all!

Latimer's 2nd Annual Cardboard Day

Latimer Lions had a great day making plans and building their creations using A LOT of cardboard! 

Automation and Robotics

Automation and Robotics is an elective that allows creativity and exploration. If you have not heard about it check out Project Lead the Way online. Thank you Ms. Johnson (6th grade at Latimer) for allowing me to watch!

Sam Thorner, teacher at Latimer, really got into character for a class project.

Google Forms

Ms. Johnson's 6th graders are hard at work on a math PBL. To kick-off the project the groups were working on making a Google Form to share with teachers at Latimer. Each group was assigned a grade level to work on. The project will be focusing on Math Night at their school. Here they are hard at work:
