![]() As part of the peer walk-through initiatives by the the Piedmont Middle Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) Ms. Barone, Ms. Adornato and I walked through sixth grade Tuesday morning. In the space of an hour, just minutes in each class, this is a snippet of what was going on. From quiet rooms with zen like atmosphere, to rooms buzzing with excitement, from test prep tips to virtual field trips to Florence, from an exercises in expanding one's individual perception inspired by Dead Poet's society to EOG fact reviews If I had to choose a word to describe sixth grade, I'd say "amazeballs" is about right. Students are having a ball in Piedmont's Media Center MakerSpace lately, and not just because of our new stop motion studio. I mean they've literally been having a ball-bouncing and levitating due to new yoga ball bouncy seats and as an additional Mindflex levitating ball game.

Check out our brand new Stop Motion Video studio in action.
Thanks to Mrs. Newburger and the PTSA for making it possible.
Students are collaborating on a number of projects and the process is almost as fun to watch as to create.

They kept coming into my office to show off their designs. Their pride was infectious. Every student should have the joy of innovating in school. The media center makerspace has become a hub of creation, but it's not just the Makerspace where the magic happens, its in all the classrooms and in the hallways too and that makes Piedmont extra commendable. So thank you for taking the time to let your students experiment and try out and create. Thank you for dealing with their messes and talking them through their frustrations. From art to language to music to math; From science to healthy kids our students have a chance to create and innovate and that's why they smile so wide. Related Posts:
