Superman was our hero for the day. Since he flies, we learned about airplanes and other things that fly. The younger kids had to try to keep flying objects in the air before making their own plane craft. The older kids made straw gliders. #CCLchildrensclass #CCLsummer2015 #superman #STEM   

We had a great group of kids at our Building Tots class today! They had fun learning about colors and building towers. #CCLbuildingtots #CCLsummer2015 #STEM  

We ended our first session of Building Tots last week with the topic of numbers. We counted to 10 and then built towers and bicycles. #CCLbuildingtots #CCLsummer2015 #STEM   

Our second session of Literary LEGOs began today. The theme was #heroes. They used inspiration from Spider-Man, Batman, and cyclops. #CCLliterarylegos #CCLsummer2015 #STEM   

This morning the younger kids talked about #Marvel’s Storm and how she controls the weather. They then read about storms and made the sounds of rain. Then they created a thunderstorm collage. The older kids talked about buildings and created their own with toothpicks and marshmallows. #CCLchildrensclass #STEM #CCLsummer2015  

Monday morning was our second class at the Boys and Girls Club. We talked about structures. Using marshmallows and toothpicks, we tried to create buildings, bridges and other structures. #boysandgirlsclub #youthcenters #STEM #cookecounty #Texas #CCLcommunityoutreach #marshmallows #toothpicks #building #structure

Ms. Kim & other library staff visited the Boys & Girls Club of Cooke County this morning. This was the first of three classes. Today’s topic was camouflage. We participated in an experiment about green and yellow frogs and then created our own camo design. #boysandgirlsclub #youthcenter #STEM #cookecounty #Texas #CCLcommunityoutreach #camo #camouflage
