We loved our visit from our kindergarten friends as we explored writing computer code.

Ocean Floor Models!

The floor has been mapped!  What features do you know?  These sculptures look fantastic!

Scientist Skype

Today we had the awesome opportunity to Skype with a real life oceanographer!  Dr. Sancho talked to us all the way from Spain and helped us answer some of our research questions for our ocean floor mapping project.  This makes my top ten list for best days in the classroom!  Our students did an excellent job with their questions, and we can't thank Dr. Sancho enough for taking time to speak with us!
