August 9 is Smokey Bear’s 80th birthday! We celebrated his birthday in July and learned about fire safety. The little kids made a map so they can go on an imaginary bear hunt while the older kids made animal stick puppets.
Our theme at STEMed Up on Monday was “Pirate Adventure”.
The kids each built their own pirate ship. We then tested each ship to see how much treasure it could hold before it sank.
Our next experiment was to build planks using Keva blocks. The challenge required the kids to see how far out over the ocean their plank could go while still holding a LEGO pirate.
This week Ms. Kim shared a story with the Valley View Enrichment class about Lady Liberty visiting various landmarks across the United States. Then the kids drew snapshots of their favorite parts of summer or places they would like to visit on vacation.
