Little Engineers, Cool Kisses
Our kindergarten engineers are tackling a delicious real-world challenge: saving a Hershey’s Kiss from melting under the sun! In this hands-on STEM project, students work in small teams to design and build custom shade structures to keep their chocolate cool.
Through this interactive experiment, students learn foundational physical science concepts while practicing teamwork, critical thinking, and the engineering design process.
Cool Kisses: The Verdict
Our little engineers put their shade structures to the ultimate test, and the sun was no match for their creativity! A impressive 4 out of 6 teams successfully kept their Hershey’s Kisses cool and intact under the bright rays. Reflecting on their designs, the remaining two groups are already thinking like true engineers—planning to expand their roof designs to block out every last bit of sunlight next time. Congratulations to all our teams on a fantastic, science-filled investigation!

This week in math, our kindergartners took an exciting step beyond numbers 1–5! Students used hands-on counters and number cards to practice counting sets of items and matching them directly to their corresponding numeral (6, 7, 8, 9, and 10).
Through small-group activities and interactive games, students developed crucial early math skills:
One-to-One Correspondence: Touching each object once as they count.
Cardinality: Understanding that the last number counted tells "how many" are in the group.
Numeral Recognition: Connecting written numbers (6–10) with real-world quantities.
Ask your child to count out 6 to 10 objects at home today to show off their new skills!
First visit, big clicks!
Our kindergarteners had an exciting milestone on Friday! Half of the students from class B9 took their first trip to the STEAM lab. For their inaugural lesson, our mini engineers practiced fine motor control and digital literacy by learning how to drag and drop objects on their screens.
The students did a wonderful job navigating the computers, and we can't wait to welcome the second half of class B9 during our next B day lab rotation!
Little Mathematicians, Big Patterns
Our kindergarten mathematicians teamed up with partners to design unique patterns using everyday classroom objects. After creating their designs, student pairs challenged their classmates to crack the code and guess what came next. To finish the activity, each group proudly explained their pattern rule, strengthening both their math skills and collaborative problem-solving.
