Inside the Issue
INTERACTIVE
LESSONS
Students visit the Granger library with
their class for library lessons designed to
enhance their understanding of
curriculum, literary, and library
concepts. The month of October was
"Mystery Month" for our third graders.
The culminating activity was a "real life"
mystery where students used clues and
evidence to hone their detective and
inferencing skills.
READ TO
YOUR BUNNY
Read to Your Bunny is a preschool
story time which includes books,
songs, and related activities.
Children participate in computer,
math, and literacy stations as well.
We meet the third Monday of the
month and welcome children aged
birth to five.
ROBOTICS
Thanks to a grant from the Northwest ISD Education
Foundation, all second grade students have had the
opportunity to build and program Lego WeDo 2.0
robots. This year, twenty-four students were selected to
participate in our Lego Robotics Club. The club meets
every Tuesday after school where students work with a
partner to invent, design and code Lego EV3 Robots.
Additionally, students in second through fifth grade are
learning to create code for Ozobots as a part of the global
initiative, Hour of Code.
TECHNOLOGY
RESOURCES
Library resources, databases, and
websites have been curated for each
grade level using the online
program, Symbaloo. Each grade
level has their own Symbaloo to
provide students, teachers, and
parents quick access to beneficial
curriculum based resources.
