🔬🎨 STEAM in Action! 🧪🤖

Our students were busy creating, designing, and exploring in STEAM this week! STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.

🧂 2nd Grade: Created beautiful salt paintings while exploring science and art.

🧩 3rd Grade: Used their creativity and problem-solving skills to draw what they imagined their missing puzzle piece looked like.

🐾 4th Grade: Put their engineering and creative thinking skills to work by designing a habitat for their new pets!

We love seeing our Cubs learn through creativity, collaboration, and hands-on exploration! 💙🐻

Our PreK Cubs had a colorful time exploring watercolors! 🌈🖌️ They mixed, painted, experimented, and let their creativity flow while learning about colors and how they can transform when combined.

So much fun and learning in one colorful activity! 💙💛❤️
