Students also put their new knowledge into action during our very own Mock Trial: "The Case of the Missing Candy Bar." Students took on the roles of judge, bailiff, attorneys, witnesses, and jury members as they practiced critical thinking, speaking, and listening skills while connecting literature to real-world experiences. Thankfully, the trial ended with the accused being found NOT GUILTY of taking the candy bar!
It's always a great day to be a Bobcat!
DOW Sabine River Operations recently awarded Orangefield Elementary a $2,500 grant to enhance STEAM opportunities for students. The funding was used to purchase LEGO sets that students will explore during their technology rotation.
Students will use LEGO Education SPIKE Essential Set kits to design and build creations that can be coded to move, light up, and respond to sensors. The LEGO Education STEAM Park sets allow younger students to explore basic engineering, cause and effect, and storytelling as they build interactive amusement park rides and scenes. Additionally, versatile LEGO building sets were added to inspire open-ended design challenges and creative problem-solving.
Orangefield Elementary is grateful for DOW Sabine River Operations' generosity and commitment to supporting hands-on, innovative learning experiences for our students.
