Lindsey Students Experience Coding
Teaching technology to children is a focus for students of all levels in the West Geauga Schools.
Lindsey Elementary School students worked on the initial stages of coding for a project. The lesson taught basic IT programming by using a fun board game using algorithmic problem solving, collaboration and critical thinking skills.
The basic IT skills are used as part of the math and science curriculum to prepare students for the challenges of the middle school.
National Molympics Challenge
Science students from West Geauga High School had the opportunity to participate in the Molympics national competition.
Students practice estimation and increase their understanding of what a “mole” really is. The competition provides Olympic-style events in which high school students from around the country can get involved.
Said Kristin Gregory, West Geauga High School Science Department chairperson and one of the founders of Molympics, “It is a fun, academic competition to help students learn about the mole and it’s importance in chemistry. Students also practice dimensional analysis and estimation skills to help learn some fundamentals of problem solving.”
Donuts at Dawn
As a great way to celebrate the end of the semester, the Lindsey Elementary School PTO sponsored a “Donuts at Dawn” event for families.
Parents were invited to bring their students to school and spend some time in the building enjoying Patterson Fruit Farm donuts before the start of the school day.
