Full Day Preschool went on a nature walk through the woods. The kids created bags and put all the different items they found in them. Afterwards, the kids took what they found and made their own unique artwork.

Way to go, Harper! Congratulations!👏

Our Kindergarten STEM students celebrated Veterans Day with a little reading, creativity, and hands-on learning! 🇺🇸 After reading a story about Veterans Day, students created their own American flags using red and white paper strips in an AB pattern. They finished their flags by using glue dots to represent the stars. Along the way, they practiced patterning, following directions, and fine motor skills while learning about the meaning of Veterans Day. ❤️🤍💙

6th grade began their unit on the rock cycle by participating in a rock show and tell. Students brought rocks from home that they discussed with the class.

🚀 Balloon Rockets in Physical Science!

Physical Science students put Newton’s Laws of Motion into action today by building and testing balloon rockets! Students completed three trials with their original rockets, then added mass and performed three more trials. They collected data and completed calculations to explore the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

Each trial gave students a closer look at how changing mass affects the mortion of their balloon rockets!

Way to go, Elijah & Lyla! 👏

Our students are becoming robot coders in STEM! 🤖

Students were introduced to our Root Robots and learned the basics of how to make them move and follow directions using code. They had to create their own code, test it out, and go back to fix things when their robots didn't do what they expected.

Problem-solving was a BIG part of this lesson! Students worked together, shared ideas, helped one another, and learned that sometimes it takes a few tries to get things just right. They practiced teamwork, critical thinking, and perseverance while learning the basics of coding.

We are excited to see where their coding adventures take them next! 🤖💻

Way to go, Everett & Ronan!👏

Our 1st grade students took time to learn about and honor our veterans! ❤️

We read It's Veterans Day and talked about the different branches of the Armed Forces and what it means to serve our country. Students also shared family members who have served in the military. After our discussion, they created special hearts using torn pieces of paper to give to our veterans at the Veterans Day breakfast.

We are so proud of our students for taking the time to show their appreciation and help honor the brave men and women who have served our country! ❤️🤍💙

Way to go, Roman & Andy!👏
