Feel Good Friday 💚

I’m not sure what these four are plotting, but judging by the whiteboard, I’m pretty sure a master plan is underway. 😂

Of course, I love watching our students learn during tutoring, support each other in small groups, and get excited about our clubs.

But one of my favorite things is watching the connections happen in between.

The kids finish class and run to the play area to build, create, explore, make up games, and just… be kids together.

The learning is important.....but the friendships, confidence, teamwork, and sense of belonging they’re building along the way? That’s pretty special too. 💚

If you’ve been looking for a place where your child can learn, grow, and make meaningful connections, we’d love to have you come see what we’re all about. 😊

🌪️ Who knew making a tornado could be so tricky?!

Our JR Scientists made their own tornadoes in a bottle this week, complete with swirling glitter! First, they had to experiment and figure out how to create the vortex. Too much shaking? That just gave them a bottle full of bubbles! 😂

After some experimenting, I showed them how to make the vortex, and they finally got it! Watching those little tornadoes swirl was definitely worth the trial and error. 🌪️✨

That’s one of my favorite things about science—sometimes you have to experiment, make adjustments, and try again before it clicks. 💚🔬

Want your young scientist to get hands-on with science, too? Our JR Scientist Club is all about experimenting, asking questions, and discovering how things work!

🎉 We had a birthday at The Thinking Cap Academy yesterday! 🧁

🎉 And..… this birthday may have given me an idea. 👀

One of our JR Artists (who happens to be my kiddo 😉) celebrated his birthday at The Thinking Cap Academy with an art day, his friends, and CUPCAKES for everyone! 🎨🧁

And now I’m wondering…

🧪 What if we offered STEM birthday parties?!

Think hands-on experiments, building challenges, science mysteries, robotics, LEGOS and LOTS of fun—plus a birthday kid who gets to feel like the star scientist for the day. 🔬🚀🤖

But before I start planning party packages… I need to know:

👉 Would you actually BOOK a STEM birthday party for your child?

If the answer is YES, drop a 🎉 below or comment “STEM PARTY!” and tag a few friends you would invite, so I can see if there’s enough interest to make this happen!

And if we do it… you know we’re going to make it FUN. 😉

🎨 What happens when you give a group of young artists some watercolors, a little inspiration, and a famous work of art to make their own?

✨ Kandinsky-inspired creativity! ✨

This week in JR Artist, we started with story time and explored the colorful, imaginative work of Wassily Kandinsky. Then the kids got to try their hand at one of his actual artworks!

Each artist received a printed page featuring the lines and shapes from one of Kandinsky’s paintings, and then they used watercolors to bring it to life with their own color choices. 🎨

It was so much fun seeing how different each one turned out, even though they all started with the same artwork!

That’s what I love about JR Artist: we introduce big ideas, then give little artists the freedom to make them their own. 💚

We want to give a huge shout-out to the newest volunteer helper in our JR Scientist Club! Her cheerful energy and eager-to-help attitude brightened up the room right from day one. She brings so much fun to our sessions, and honestly, we think she enjoys the hands-on experiments just as much as the kids do!

Having dedicated helpers like her makes our learning community truly special. Next time you stop by The Thinking Cap Academy, make sure to say hi and give her a warm welcome!

🐘💥 WHEN ELEPHANT TOOTHPASTE MAKES A COMEBACK… YOU KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE FUN! 🧪

At the request of one of our young scientists, JR Scientist revisited an old favorite this week—Elephant Toothpaste!

And while the experiment was familiar, the learning wasn’t! Every time we revisit an experiment, we can build new skills. This week, our scientists:

🔬 Learned the names of several new pieces of lab equipment
🧪 Practiced measuring with a test tube
👀 Worked on making careful observations
🌡️ Discovered that chemical reactions can create heat!
🎉 And, of course, had a LOT of fun!

One old favorite + new skills = another great day in JR Scientist! 💚

If your young scientist loves asking questions, getting hands-on, and discovering how things work, we’d love to have them join us for JR Scientist! 🧪🔎

🎨✨ What do you get when you mix glitter paint, art sprinkles, and shaving cream? A whole LOT of creative fun! 😂

JR Artist Club got creative this week as our artists made their very own “paint” using acrylic glitter paint, art sprinkles (NOT food sprinkles! 😉), and shaving cream.

Then they got to try out their colorful, sparkly creations! ✨🎨

There was mixing, creating, glitter, giggles… and yes, a few artists even decided to paint themselves! 😂

Just another fun and creative day at JR Artist Club! 💖
