It's been a awesome year so far, looking forward to our last quarter for the year. 

 

Some of you I'll get to see again for 7-8. Awesome!!! Middle schoolers at Westgate are the best!!!

 

For middle school  our upcoming quarter is a compilation of past quarters with learning the craft of upcyling with design thinking to create a paper product. We'll again use photography, videography, animation, 3D modeling for marketing our builds. This quarter you'll learn a new technique of how to promote your products thru web design.

 

We will again look at structure design for K-6 but with a new surprise twist.

 

It's going to be a great quarter ahead...

Dont forget to sign up for the modeling club after school on Mondays

 

We'll be learning different hands on and 3D software throughout the club.

I hope you all enjoy your break and will see my new classes soon!!!

We are now entering final grading window. All portfolios will be completed and final grades entered.

 

We will end the quarter with some fun stem and design activities including for this quarter handmade stickers.

 

Again another fantastic quarter. A great group of students who should be so proud of all their accomplishments.

 

Ms Denise :)

Final grades will be available in the following week. This week we will develop portfolios to finalize the grading process and allow students to leave with a finished collection from iLab. They will also be able to celebrate all of their accomplishments.

 

Each of you should be incredibly proud of your hard work. I continue to be impressed with your ideas and care.

 

Thank you :)

 

 

What will you do for kindness week?

 

In K-3 we created art to give to someone by tracing our hands in the shape of  heart and writing a special note.

 

Thank you for my notes and flowers.

 

 

We are half way thru the quarter.

 

We have recently discussed grading and that they can check grades in IC or speak with me about any questions they may have so far.

 

We are starting to finalize and showcase all of our projects for the quarter. 

 

And then we will create our final portfolios and they can take home all of their hard work.

 

Its a fun but quick time of the quarter getting ready for report cards and spring break.

 

Awesome job!

 

I hope you all had a fantastic break, got some rest and had fun!

 

This week we'll be working on video editing and 3D modeling.

Then we'll make portfolios of everything you made this quarter and celebrate before our next holiday break.

 

You all should be so proud of your work this quarter. You all rose above the challenge and are making some amazing designs.
