Sinai Elementary

Today, students took part in a festive North Pole adventure! ❄️ They explored the North Pole using virtual reality, then put their engineering skills to work by designing and building houses complete with chimneys. To wrap it up, students practiced early coding by programming their Ozobots as Santa’s delivery helpers, guiding them along snowy routes from house to house to “deliver” gifts. This hands-on STEM experience was facilitated by Khaela Powell, ITRT. 🎄🦌✨

Hydro-dipped and holiday-dripped!

Our Sinai Eagles spread their wings in Art today!
Under the guidance of Mr. Conner, students learned the hydro-dipping process and transformed ornaments into colorful masterpieces—blending art + science with a sprinkle of holiday magic. ✨🦅

Tip:

If your child is getting a new device this holiday season, set it up before wrapping it. Turn on parental controls, install updates, and adjust privacy settings together.

🎄Remind children not to share sensitive information online, like their full name, address, or holiday travel plans. A little preparation now helps keep the season merry and safe.

Sinai Eagles soared into history today! Students kicked off with a VR field trip to Plymouth Colony to experience how the Pilgrims lived in 1621. Next, they put their engineering skills to the test by building turkey traps with limited materials, mirroring how the Pilgrims and Wampanoag used the resources they had. Finally, students strengthened their early coding skills by programming Code & Go robots to guide their turkeys safely away from danger.
Facilitated by Mrs. Khaela Powell, ITRT.
