Cooke County now has some very well trained superheroes! They know how to jump over buildings, climb through a spider web, blow bubbles with their super power breath and walk across lava. The older kids enjoyed a visit from Science Safari where Susan showed them the living things you can find in creek water.
No commentsThe building tots class learned their shapes today. They built with shape connectors after reading a book with Ms. Kim. #CCLbuildingtots #stem #CCLsummer2015

On Monday 6/29, we visited the Boys and Girls Club of Cooke County for our last class of the summer. The kids made paper airplanes and learned about the air pressure that keeps them in flight. #boysgirlsclub #cookecounty #Texas #STEM #CCLsummer2015 #community 
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

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.
