Great work! You're like the typhoon that came and went  -- yet left a lot of constructivism behind:)
 

Cheers,

My planned 7-day training was lessened to 3 days because of a typhoon.  Mitch Seaton did the introductory Sugar class with the incoming 4th graders and their teachers in both Occidental Mindoro and Lubang while I did the training for the incoming 5th graders and past Champion Teachers. When not teaching, we were updating the laptops for this year's distribution.

> - This is a 2 hour "demo" class to introduce the Measure activity in their 5th grade circuits class. The kids are introduced to different basic circuit concepts: source/voltage, closed/open/short circuits, series/parallel circuits, conductor, insulators, etc. They used the Measure activity to measure the voltage and conductive dough to build their circuits. Towards the end of the class, they were able to build their own circuit  "art" using the concepts that they learned.
