What’s Happening in Hilton's S.T.E.A.M Center:
The digital world that our students are learning and growing up in is incredibly exciting. Through technology, students have access to new tools and to an incredible range of resources. As a district, we want to make sure our students cultivate the 21st century skills they need and learn safe ways to navigate through our digital world. During STEAM this week our first through fourth grade students learned about Digital Citizenship and their Digital Footprint. We discussed rules that help keep us safe online while at school and at home.
I am a good Digital Citizen
As a way to ensure that our students are safe at BAS we encourage all students to use Safe Search Sites and the Hilton grade level links. You are more than welcome to use these at home too! These can be found on the Hilton website under “For Students”. Ask your kiddos they can show you where they are.
As a parent and teacher, I love the website Common Sense Media! This is a great place to check if an app, website, book or movie is appropriate for you child. It does a really good job of giving an overview of the resource and it will point out whether it has violence, inappropriate language etc. www.commonsensemedia.org

Growing Kindness Through Literacy
|
When you are kind to others, it not only changes you, it changes the world.
- Harold Kushner At Hilton, we have been growing kindness and giving out "Heartprints" (Compliments) wherever we go. "Heartprints are left behind when you do something kind." - P.K.Hallinan
Ask your kiddos... How many Heartprints they have given out today? |

STEAM Makerspace Area

Want to donate supplies? Here are just a few suggestions. http://bit.ly/hiltonmakersupplies

What is a makerspace?
A makerspace is a collaborative work space for making, learning, exploring and sharing that uses no tech tools. It’s more of the maker mindset of creating something out of nothing and exploring your own interests that’s at the core of a makerspace. These spaces are also helping to prepare those who need the critical 21st century skills in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEM). They provide hands on learning, help with critical thinking skills and even boost self-confidence. |
