Moore/Gueye/Ammons
Our Drew Eagles have been very busy this quarter! The kindergartners practiced their speaking and listening skills when they interviewed their friend to learn more about their toy preferences. They also used all of the elements of STEAM in their "Toys and Play" project. They learned about force and motion, created a blueprint and prototype of their friend's toy, engineered and designed a toy using recyclable materials, and incorporated attributes such as size, color, shape, and texture into their project.
Final Products
Please take a look at the creative toys that the kindergartners made for their friend using recyclable materials!
