Kindergarten

August/September 2026

The beginning of the school year included learning routines, STEM behaviors, and exploring science and engineering practices. 

Some of our favorite activities included:

• Analyzing how bridges work after we read The Three Billy Goats Gruff.  Students worked to design, test, and improve their bridge designs.  

• Exploring how shapes move as they read Ricky the Rock Who Couldn’t Roll!  Throughout the lesson, they explored 3D shapes and their attributes, speed, motion, pushes and pulls, and how the design of a ramp can affect movement! It was a fun, hands-on way to put their learning into action while practicing teamwork, problem-solving, and engineering skills!

Students have been having fun as they learn and explore science and engineering practices.
