My Project

My kindergarteners are active and eager learners. They enjoy and learn concepts best through hands-on, developmentally appropriate exploration. Science is a hands-on content area.

Kindergarteners will use protective lab coats and eyewear to engage in hands-on STEAM/STEM exploration.

Early exposure to vocabulary and concepts will build a strong foundation for future scientists. The materials in this project will be used for open-ended, multiple STEM experiments in our indoor and outdoor classroom environments throughout the school year. The science explorations will also be engaging, exciting, and so much fun. We are building future scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.
