This morning students learned all about the Artemis II and the splash down of Integrity. Students learned where it will be splashing down, how fast it will be traveling , and through what temperature. We talked about how the four astronauts prepared to make their way back to Earth and what makes this space mission special. Then, teachers competed to see who could land their Integrity(paper airplane) closest to the Pacific Ocean (bowl of water). We hope it was a memory maker kind of morning!

Our kindergarteners had so much fun becoming little bread makers! They practiced “kneading” play dough and explored building cube shapes using popsicle sticks. We love their imagination and hard work!

✨ Our 2nd Grade Engineers at Work! ✨

On St. Patrick’s Day, second graders put their STEM skills to the test! They designed and built their very own rainbows, working hard to make them strong enough to hold as many pieces of gold as possible.

There was lots of creativity and problem-solving along the way.
