Kindergarten had their first chance to use our virtual reality goggles! They have been learning about Iowa’s environmental characteristics. They viewed different environments on the virtual reality goggles and had to decide if what they were viewing was in Iowa or not in Iowa.

PreK students have been learning about patterns. What a pattern is, how to predict a pattern, and creating simple and complex patterns. In Innovation we worked on finishing a pattern and then entering that pattern into the kinderbots to code them!

The preschoolers dug into pumpkins to learn about measurement, weight, buoyancy, and the life cycle of plants. They measured and described them then created a Jack O Lantern which we will leave to rot all year in a jar! So fun to see the natural process of decomposition up close!
