GATORS AND THE SMARTBOARD

Mrs. Garcia's Gators use the SmartBoard in their class for math warm-ups each day, 
and to introduce new skills or practice familiar ones.  
It is also used for problem solving, counting coins, and discovering number patterns on the hundred's grid.  
They also use the SmartBoard in other areas as well such as writing.

FLL OFF TO COMPETITION!


First Lego League, or FLL, introduces 9-14 year old students to real-world engineering 
challenges by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface. 
FLL teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career 
 possibilities and, through the process, learn to make positive contributions to society.
