Snow!

Dear Parents,

 

I hope you all enjoyed the snow yesterday evening!  It was so beautiful as it was falling from the sky, and it really made Austin look like a Winter Wonderland!

 

This week the students participated in Robolab.  It is always a memorable day of fun, exploration, and learning.  The students built and programmed rovers that were able to explore new planets.  They then programmed their rovers to use bumper sensors to make its way out of a maze and light sensors to follow a given path.  It always amazes me what they create.  Thank you to Mr. Wu, Mrs. Pintos, Mrs. Da, Mrs. Sheth, Mr. LaPenta and Mrs. Patterson for being there to offer some hands on support.  It is always needed and very appreciated!
