Session 3 of Building Tots completed their building skills today. They were great little engineers!

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. #STEMedUp

Last week Ms. Jennifer read to the kids at Lil Leopards Learning Centers school-age program. The kids also played BINGO and won library themed pencils. #CCLcommunityoutreach #EducateEngageEnrich
