Today in STEM at Wildcat Adventure we celebrated the 100th day or school. The kiddos selected a building tool, counted 100 items, then used their creativity to build whatever they wanted. They made things like neighborhoods, houses, cars, bouquets of flowers, animals, and mazes. They proved working together they can make amazing things!
Miss Pauling’s friends have been working on developing a concrete understanding of two digit numbers. They used base ten blocks to differentiate between the tens and the ones.
Mrs. Anderson’s class has been working hard on addition stations this week in math. Students were able to practice their adding skills with hands-on activities that promote deeper conceptual understanding. Way to go, kinderkids!

Miss Pauling’s and Mrs. Seibert’s friends created bird feeders today. First, the classes studied the differing habits of animals in winter: adapting, hibernating, and migrating. This project integrated math with the use of patterns. Then, the kiddos had to string their food in a repeating pattern on their pipe cleaner.
