What is a Pringle Ringle?

The Pringle Ringle is an engineering challenge where you create a ring using only Pringles chips, NO tape or glue allowed. You need one can of chips for each person. Choose your FAVORITE flavor!! The challenge requires a lot of patience as well as careful and precise chip placement!!!

These kindergarten KIDDOS are creating racetracks that mimic our MOTION words!!

How can WE Stop a PUMPKIN? Kinder STYLE!!

November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 S. Melton Engineering, Kindergarten, Physical Science

Our Kinders are learning how pushes and pulls create motion. In STEM lab, we linked our learning to literature by reading The Runaway Pumpkin. In this story, a HUGE pumpkin is cut from its stem and ROLLS down a hill causing lots of DESTRUCTION!! The KIDDOS were challenged to work in groups to design a structure that could STOP their pumpkin.

KINDERS learning to make PREDICTIONS and record RESULTS!!

October 10, 2019 S. Melton Kindergarten, Physical Science

We have been learning about the composition of objects. In this lesson, students are testing specific items to determine whether they float or sink in water. By asking the kindergartners to predict how each object will react & having them record their data, we are beginning to Think like SCIENTISTS!!!

Little Computer Programmers!!!

September 19, 2019 S. Melton Coding, Kindergarten, Supported by FREY Foundation, WELCOME

Our youngest FREY Flames are learning to CODE robots!! Programming encourages our kiddos to think critically and solve problems effectively while working in collaborative groups. Thanks to our Frey Families & our Foundation for purchasing these robots!!

Learning to Sort Objects by their Composition

August 25, 2019August 25, 2019 S. Melton Kindergarten, Physical Science

Look at these SMILING faces!! Learning how to sort items is super tough STUFF!! We are learning that scientists group objects by how they are alike. Today we focus on what these items are made of: glass, cloth, metal, wood, plastic, and paper!
