For my 2 activities, I would really love to use: "Roland Machine". This activity involves printing out stickers in whatever style or design that you choose/create. I think this activity would be something that the students of Metro Elementary would enjoy and find very engaging. It is also something that the students can do hands-on and are very creative! Another activity that I would like to utilize would be the Laser Cutter. The laser cutter is a fun machine that will allow students to bring in their own items and have it customized to the design of their choice. They can be creative by creating a design themselves and either customize their own items (brought from home) or use an item that will be provided to them by TAMUCC students.

EXIT TICKET TEK: Art, 3rd Grade - 2C: Produce drawings; paintings; prints; sculpture, including modeled forms; and other art forms suchs as ceramics, fiber art, constructions, mixed media, installation art, digital art and media, and photographic imagery using a variety of materials. I enjoy being creative and doing art. I like creating things and I believe that would be something that children would enjoy as well, so I would like to have the children create something of their choice based on the material I will have provided. _____________________________________________________________________________________ MAKERSPACE Scocial Studies: Express ideas orally for a plan of action to support students up-keep and sustainability of plants in a garden. TEK: K.13(B) - Sequence and Categorize information Storybook: I decided to create a storybook (for my makerspace) and have it on life cycle.

Steps for drone at Metro Elementary My partner and I will get the attention of all students and ask about prior knowledge (if any) of code. For example: Do you have experience with coding/ do you know what coding is? Do you have experience with flying drones? Have you ever heard about it or seen it maybe in a video game? My partner and I will then quickly go over vocabulary for example: loop - allowing the sequence to repeat until the code is met. Variables means allowing the input to change while the code is being executed. Logic means that's adding intelligence to the code. Yaw means the rotation around the vertical axis. We will then model codes, that we have used and practiced with in class, for the students. (images below) We will divide the students between the two of us. 1 of us explains the codes to a few students and how it works and the other will work hands on with the student and drone. We will have one code that we want the students to be successful in before our ti...

Drone Blocks This week, my partner and I had the opportunity to work online testing and practice with Drone Blocks - in preparation for flying actual drones in the near future. My partner Madi and I had to login to the DroneBlocks website to learn about how the drones work and also how to apply coding. The lessons demonstrated basic programming concepts and walked us through code examples. Another video we had to watch covered how our codes affect the drone. Here we learned specific vocabulary such as take-off, yaw, land, etc. Vocab To Remember: Yaw:  Rotation about the X,Y, and Z axis (have the drone turn) Blocks: Lexical structure of code source which is grouped together Codes: A set of instructions that tells a computer what to do Loop: A program structure that repeats a sequence of instructions until a specific instruction is met Hover: Remain in place while in the air Variables: A value that can change depending on conditions or information passed to the program In the be...
