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.
