Floodwood School's STEAM Night 2019
Floodwood School's STEAM Night 2019
K2 STEM Learns from Community Expert: The kindergarten and 2nd grade students learned about electrical circuits from a community expert today during K2 STEM. Several students asked insightful questions, made connections to their own experiences with electricity and wiring in a house, and were interested in learning more about this field of science!
Floodwood 1st and 2nd grade listened to Officer Brandon read "Officer Buckle and Gloria." A delightful story about Napville's safety officer giving safety tips to schools. The audience naps through the presentations until Officer Buckle adopts Gloria and brings her along.

French Toast and Friends: Fun Food Friday's Spontaneous Lesson in Kindness
On Fun Food Friday, our kindergarten students used a problem as an opportunity to extend kindness and warm the hearts (and bodies) of classmates!
The Problem: Our room was quite cold and students were having a hard time warming up.
The Solution: A student thought it would be a nice surprise to make something hot in our classroom kitchen for her friends. We looked in our cupboards and fridge, discussed what we knew about cooking at home, and decided on french toast!
We went through the process of gathering supplies and several classmates immediately chipped in to help. Cracking eggs, adding sweet spices, cutting slices of bread, dunking, frying, and cutting were tasks shared by a kitchen of experts.
Afterward, we enjoyed two varieties of french toast while devouring a feast of "good fit" books with friends. We also had several visitors stop by to find out what we were cooking and sample our work.
French Toast and Friends: This recipe makes Fun Food Fridays extra delicious!

Fun with a Purpose: Last week, kindergarten students worked in the kitchen, designed and built a variety of structures, took observational notes on our caterpillars, learned about airplane design, and wrote clues for a mystery friend’s Easter egg hunt.
Learning is kindergarten is fun, purposeful, and rigorous!
We build upon what we know, practice skills we’re learning across all subject areas, apply each step of the inquiry process in the moment of an authentic challenge, and build community within our classroom in a myriad of ways. All of this takes place within the context of engaging, meaningful, play-based explorations.
This is fun with a purpose in kindergarten!
