First graders have been working on a STEM kit extending their learning about the moon from the CKLA astronomy unit they recently finished. Throughout the last week they completed many activities that included testing materials and making a spacesuit that can withstand the heat and cold of the moon and any debris that might hit it. They also took their BeeBots to "the moon" and created codes and programmed their BeeBots to complete various tasks like collecting moon rocks, finding footprints, and getting home. #lesinspire #misdinspire

The engineers in 2T have been studying various solid objects and using properties to describe them. Today they built towers thinking about which materials would create a stable enough foundation to support a 45 centimeter tall tower. They learned that engineers can’t give up on the first try and stable towers are TOUGH to build! 😉 #lesinspire #misdinspire
Second graders have been learning about the War of 1812 during Knowledge time. This week they had the opportunity to use a new app called Pebble Go Next to do some deeper investigation on James Madison. 🧐 Did you know he was our 4th president? 🇺🇸 Did you know he had a wife named Dolley Madison? Did you know during this war the British set the White House on fire? 🔥 If you want to know more, ask a second grader! ☺️ Pebble Go Next is a great app to use with your student as they can search for their subject, read information, have the information read aloud to them, and even watch a video! #lesinspre #misdinspire
