Mr. Lane's 6th graders are learning how to use Google Sheets and the different vocabulary they need to be successful with this application. In order to learn about cells, columns, rows, etc., they played Battleship. The students created a board and placed their boats. Then they faced off against each other to try and sink their opponents' boats first! #celebrate379
