Speed and Force 🏎

Here are some questions we explored during this week's experiment:

 How much force is needed to get the car to the finish line? 

What do we need to differently if the track is changed?

Experimenting with Force

We are learning about how objects can be pushed and pulled. Today students tried different types of force to see how objects can be moved. We used our hands, a feather, and magnets.

Black History Living Museum

Today KK students got to explore our school's Black History Living Museum in the library. Each classroom chose someone to learn about and then create an exhibit for. KK learned about author Jacqueline Woodson and how she writes stories with positive messages and diverse characters so children can see themselves represented in the books they read.

Addition Fluency

 KK has been working hard to learn their addition facts and solve addition stories. Students have been enjoying practicing with their friends through playing games. 

Valentine's Day

KK had fun celebrating love and friendship all day long. We created bags, sorted valentines for the school, gave cards to friends, played games, and much more!
