Summer School Snapshot!
Students at Lucy Wortham James Elementary embarked on a coding adventure at the library, where they dove into the world of technology and learned coding basics with the help of Ozobots!
So, what are Ozobots? They are small robots designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of coding in a fun and interactive way. Ozobots follow colored lines and can perform various actions based on the code they read. Our students explored the Ozobot's abilities and experimented with different coding commands. They discovered how to make Ozobots change colors, speed up, slow down, and even perform dazzling dance moves!

Learning Highlight: Mentos vs. Soda!
Earlier this week, Mrs. Owen's students gathered outside to witness the explosive power of science! The experiment was all about finding out which type of soda would shoot higher when Mentos were added.
With curious minds and safety goggles in place, the students conducted their experiment. Mrs. Owen carefully dropped Mentos into various bottles of soda, waiting for the grand eruptions to occur. And what a show it was! Soda fountains soared into the air, reaching impressive heights.
Let's give a big round of applause to Mrs. Owen and her amazing class for their passion for learning and exploring the world of science!
