Paper flip animation, and some bulletin board art.

Paper Commands

This class of five students familiarized themselves with arrow commands: move forward, turn left, and turn right. They are made of paper, though I really should laminate them.

This was used to introduce the bee-bot emulator website, which also uses arrows to command the bee-bot. But first, I modeled the beebot using Notebook software.

The students took turns using my bluetooth touch pad to command the bee-bot.

Shred

So much shredding. I want to pile it up and jump in.

Of course, we can always pull an “Argo” to see what secrets are within.

Useful Information, Chart 4

Product: Staples Graph Composition Book, 9.75 X 7.5 Graph Paper Notebook, Black (not marbled – ed)

Sold by: Staples

cost: $2.00

This Useful Information chart is on the inside back cover of a graph paper composition notebook. The cover is not the typical marble design. Right away I see some cool icons and graphics…the other Useful Information charts 1-3 have only text. Also, this one has a 3-inch ruler! The content is much the same as chart 2.

Hidden Highlights

  • an acre measures ~209 feet on each side
  • A perch of stone is 16 1/2 feet long, by 1 1/2 feet wide, by 1 foot high. (I would call this a low wall, but what do I know?)
