Elementary
In each grade we build on what the student learned the previous year.
In kindergarten we focus on problems solving, perseverance, teamwork, and the engineering design process. Students are introduced to our STEMlab materials and learn about simple machines and nature.
In first grade we learn about parts of plants, how to make shade, building with paper, sound vibrations, life cycles and habitats and students learn to program beebots.
In second grade we learn about geographic features, and leaves, computer coding, technology, seeds and growing things we use 3d doodler pens, adobe spark, venn diagrams and word clouds in this learning.
In third grade we focus on comparing weather patterns, animal and plant lifecycles, cardboard design and students learn to program using osmos.
