Children’s Class July 30, 2024

Posted by kimr on

We will offer two 10:30 children’s classes for the first two Tuesdays in August. This gives the school-age kids more age appropriate stories to listen to while also not overcrowding the little ones.

Be sure to join us at 10:30 or 2:30!

Happy Birthday Smokey Bear!

Posted by kimr on

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.

STEMed Up July 15, 2024 : Pirate Adventure

Posted by kimr on

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.
