SWEET Friday Minecraft Group

Our SWEET Friday Minecraft 4th and 5th graders are creating a history museum using Minecraft!  They are working together in groups of 3-5 students, bringing the Alamo, World War II Battlefields, and extinct animals to life in the Minecraft world.  Another group is using Minecraft to create circuits, which they are studying in science.

PSPN: Pond Springs Pioneer Network

Pond Springs fifth graders are encouraged to join the PSPN crew to take part in the morning broadcast.  Each fifth grade class takes a turn as the PSPN broadcast crew.  Everything is student created, and there are jobs available on air or behind the scenes.  It's a great experience!

Mrs. Shoemate's Class: What I Want to Be When I Grow Up

Minecraft is SWEET at PSE

We are using the educational version of the Minecraft game at PSE for SWEET time with 4th and 5th grade.  Read all about our adventure here.
By implementing SWEET Friday time, our students at PSE will choose engaged learning activities, make real-world connections, and take ownership of their learning. Through collaboration and problem solving, they will develop self-awareness, communication, and leadership skills.
