Ms. Gallagher’s class had a fun-filled week learning about the different parts of a pumpkin! The students participated in hands-on activities and created a craft to show what they learned. To end the week with a bang, Ms. Gallagher, Mrs. Irene, Mrs. Young, and Ms. Morgan’s class worked together to conduct an exciting pumpkin volcano experiment! 🎃🌋

✂️🪨📄 Rock, Paper, Scissors… with a Science twist! 🎉🐾

Learning science is so much FUN in Ms. Oden’s kindergarten class! 💙📚 Our Little Pack scientists have been learning all about positional words and put their knowledge into action with a fun game of Rock, Paper, Scissors! ✨

Students practiced identifying positions like under, beside, on top of, and in front of their classmates or tables while laughing, moving, and learning together! 🙌

Who says science has to happen sitting in a chair? We love seeing our youngest Scouts learning through movement, teamwork, and play! 🐾💙
