Lebanon LEAP Elementary School hosted a "Starbooks" experience this week where second and third graders were able to "get a taste" of several different genres of new books. Students noted what they thought of the book's cover, hook, pictures and content on their Starbooks brochures. Afterwards they enjoyed hot cocoa and pastries as they chatted about the books, which are now available for checkout from the school library. ☕📚

eCampus Academy elementary learners gathered for an in-person STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) day where they rotated through a variety of hands-on experiences.

The students designed marble races and paths for the Ozobot robot to travel on. Some attempted the challenge of creating a boat out of aluminum foil that carried candy corn before it sank. The students learned all about coding microbits, and even got to play catch with a digital baseball!
