What a fun week in Mrs. Anderson’s 6th grade class. Mrs. Reindl went into Mrs. Anderson’s 6th grade classrooms last week and worked with the students on coding and flying drones. This week, the 6th grade students coded and drove sphero’s to bowl, play mini golf, and have bot battles. They also drove the drones through an obstacle course - all designed by Mrs. Anderson. Continue to learn while having fun!!
