 The Music Resources page is now live on the class website! The page features favorite websites for making music, writing about music, and resources for listening and editing.
Because many music sites require login information and take bandwidth or require uploads we are not able to use them at school.

Your objective is to get rid of as much of the red boxes as possible using only 3 slices. Good luck!

Students will begin working on the first simple machine- levers- beginning in May! Stay tuned for more Lego fun!  Super Stacker is a tricky game where you stack shapes into a tower.
