The Animal Kingdom, Augmented Reality, and a Fluff Puff Party!

After learning about vertebrates, invertebrates,

mammals, fish, amphibians, birds, and reptiles, we spent Thursday morning mapping out the Animal Kingdom. 

....and honing photobomb skills.  

Augmented Reality!  We are so fortunate to get to work with local artist, Agnez Chavez, 

STEM Art coordinator for TISA.  

STEM = science, technology, engineering

and mathematics. 

 The latest project is inspiring the Dragons to no end.  

Using the Quiver app on the i pads, the students are able to turn 2D images into 3D.  There is much experimentation and art to be done.  The kids spent time

this week playing with the new technology and creating storyboards for their chosen 3D drawings.

Fluff Puff Party!  We have a
"fluff puff" jar that gets a new fluff puff each 

time I catch a Dragon in an act of kindness.  They

filled up the jar! (105 fluff puffs...we counted)

In celebration, we had a Fluff Puff Party Thursday afternoon.

Food, dancing, and games.  Way to go, Dragons!

Here are some pictures of 

Angelique and Neenah dancing it up.
