Learning in Motion: More Highlights from Our Week in Kindergarten
Kinetic Energy: Full STEAM Ahead!
This week in kindergarten, students learned about potential and kinetic energy through a variety of movement activities and hands-on projects.
Our learning had us in a perpetual state of motion as we cooked two varieties of waffles and compared and contrasted the results, observed and cared for our plants growing in our homemade greenhouses, played with our preschool friends outdoors during our final PreK-K Get Together, explored magnetic push/pull forces and recorded our results, and built and tested roller coaster designs.
So much rich learning took place in our classroom this week and it was all wrapped around the unstoppable forces that engage young children—play!
As we get ready to close this amazing year together, we will continue to be in a state of continuous motion. Kinetic energy…encouraging us to experience learning holistically—is what kindergarten is all about.
It's that time of year when the Floodwood School Library is starting it's end of the year inventory. Please watch for notices of books that your child still has checked out. Please send back any books that have Floodwood Media Center or Floodwood School Library labels. Thanks!
Happy Memorial Day! Floodwood School's Chromebook (CB) lease is up; so we're in the process of collecting all CBs, to return to the vendor. We need high school family's help. Please send back your child's CB charger, if you still have it at home. See images for our 2 styles.

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!
