Building our "Chicka Chicka Trees"
Kindergarten students kicked off their first day of STEM with the story Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! After reading, students were challenged to build their own coconut tree and test how many letters it could hold without tipping or falling. As they built and tested their designs, students explored balance, stability, and how small changes could make their structures stronger. It was a fun first look at thinking and working like engineers!
We had so much fun with STEM this week! After reading Five Little Pumpkins, students worked together in groups to design and build a fence for their pumpkins. They had to plan how to build their gate and test it to see if their pumpkins could sit on it without rolling off! The students got to be little engineers as they worked together, tried out their ideas, and made changes when things didn’t work the way they expected.
