tadp01e habit
Mrs. Ford's 1st graders at Hubbard Elementary
School are in the STEM Lab learning about
habitats for tadpolbs. They're working on
reconstructing a real habitat after several ex-
perimental designs were tried. They are excited
to watch their tadpoles grow into frogs over the
next several weeks. (Courtesy of Betsy Ford)

learning fun
My name is Morgan Long. I teach
Pre-K at Hubbard Elementary
and enjoy every minute. Finishing
up the week of Dr. Seuss reminds
me of how much I enjoy reading,
being silly, and having fun while
learning! In our classroom, we
love to learn, we are kind, and we
have a great time while doing it!
Fifth graders shined at the
Hubbard Elementary School's
STEM night. Students ex-
plained to parents, students,
and community partners about
their Earth Science STEM
projects.
The pro)ects included creat-
ing an earthquake proof tower,
building a seisrhograph, and
building a dam. These students.
did an excellent job repre-
senting fi.fth graders at HES.

Students in Mrs. Cawthon's kindergarten
class have been excited about learning how
to program Ozobots. The students had to
leam the ozobot's language which consists
of different pattems of colors. Each pattem
tells the ozobot a different motion: fast,
slow, tum around, go left, go right, u-tum
and, our favorite, "tomadd'.
Before students could program the
ozobots, we had to %e" an ozobot and
read, then follow the directions in the pat-
terns laid out on the floor. To review and
practice motion, students had to give each
other directions as they would an ozob6t.
On our third day of ozobot tmining
the students were excited to use what
they leamed about ozobot language to
actually color codes for the ozobot to
read. Students discovered that they had to
color the pattern carefully or the ozobot
wouldn't move.
During our next visit to the STEM lab,
the students are going to draw codes to
tell the robots to follow the map and "pick
up" the living things. We have been learn- "
ing the difference between living and
non living. We are very thankful for Mrs.
Parham, who has made the ozobots a fun
and engaging coding experience for us!

soil
Third grade students at Hubbard
Elementary School enjoyed sharing infor-
mation about their composting projects
at the recent STEM night. The students
shared Google Slides presentations,
their composting worms in their worm
house, and soil samples that they have
been collecting. The students will use
their soil samples to determine which soil
will grow plants the best. (Courtesy of"

.Hubbard Elementary 4th grade students in Dr. Ayers' class concluded their Light and Sound unit
by creating musical instruments from recyclable materials. Students worked with partners, in
small groups, or individually to create a musical instrument that would produce at 16ast three
different pitches. These students really rose to the challenge, making guitars drums, shakers, and
some unique, one-of-a-kind instruments. Way to Rock It Out, 4th graders! (Courtesy of Dr. Donna
