Goodbye Winter...
Hello sounds of SPRING!
The first graders have been learning about sound and vibration.
Ask a first grader how to experience vibration with "head harps” and “secret bells”.
Through the use of our homemade "sound chambers," we tried to identify sounds and learn about their different properties.
How much vibration can you see, feel, and hear with a "book fiddle"?
We are getting started with our "Carton 2 Garden" STEAM challenge - Let's Reduce, Recycle and Repurpose those milk containers! Stay tuned for more on this.
The Kindergarten EGG DROP CHALLENGE!
After reading Dr. Seuss's, Horton Hatches an Egg, each team received an egg. Their goal?...To keep the egg 100% safe, just like Horton did. They planned and designed a contraption to keep the egg safe after a 9 foot drop. The kids worked under time constraints just like engineers do. They had to get their design plan approved before building and then... THE DROP!
After Reading "The Egg" by M.P. Robertson, the PreSchoolers each designed a one-of-a-kind colorful egg. We are hoping a dragon does not hatch out of our eggs!
