Euharlee Elementary School

The fifth grade students are working on classification of living things in science. They enjoyed learning how to use a Dichotomous key during a fun jelly bean activity.

Students will also participate in coding/engineering challenges in which they must program the robots to complete simple tasks. Session 2: Advanced Robotics- In this session, students will take coding to the next level as they write code to program Sphero and Ozobot robots. Session 3: Beginners Stop Motion Animation & Green Screen- During this session, students will get the opportunity to combine engineering with stop motion animation. Stop motion animation is the process of capturing one frame (picture or image) at a time using physical objects that are moved between frames. When students play back the sequence of the images, an illusion of movement is created (think Claymation-style animation, as with Wallace & Gromit). This session will also include Green Screen. During this session, students will work with a green screen app called “Green Screen by Do Ink”. After students learn the basics of using the app, they will collaborate with other students to produce their own video. Session 4: Advanced Stop Motion Animation & Green Screen- This session is designed for students who have experience with stop motion animation as well as green screen. During this session, students will jump into the production process by creating their own movies. Students may be required to do some research or planning before this session begins. Students interested in joining the STEM Club need to check their level of experience for each session below. Please place a check mark in either the beginner box or advanced box for the sessions.

One of the most important predictors of high school graduation is reading proficiency in THIRD grade. Before then, students are learning to read. After third-grade, students are reading to learn. The Read to Grow initiative pairs volunteers with first- and second-grade students to provide additional reading practice. We need YOU, our community members, to support students who are struggling with foundational reading skills. If you can spend an hour a week (ideally) in one of our schools, you can make a difference in a child’s future. No experience is necessary, just attend a training and get started. TRAINING DATES 2021: 8/5 at 6:00 pm 8/10 at 10:00 am 8/12 at 6:00 pm 8/17 at 10:00 am Training will be held at the Bartow County College and Career Academy, 738 Grassdale Road, Cartersville. You do not need to register, just show up – and bring friends! We will cover everything you need to know in about an hour. You choose the school you’d like to visit and the day of the week. Most reading times are in the morning, but there is some availability in early afternoon. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Kristy Mitchell at 770-606-5800, ext. 2043 or kristy.mitchell@bartow.k12.ga.us. We look forward to you joining our team!

We're thrilled to announce Bartow County School System's new app! It's everything Bartow County Schools, in your pocket. Download the app on Android: https://bit.ly/2SySlsi or iPhone: https://apple.co/3A2xi81.
