Episcopal EC Design Lab

PK4 was heading out to the garden but some community helpers were busy at work. The kids were so excited to watch them help our community! When they were all done, we gave them a huge, “Thank you!,” then enjoyed the beautiful garden!

Kindergarten made particle board today! We’ve been exploring the properties of wood and looking at different kinds of wood. Last week they watched me use a saw to make sawdust. Today we added glue to the sawdust to make particle board! The activity wasn’t a huge success but it sure was a lot of fun! We talked about dry ingredients and wet ingredients, viscous and transparent fluids, fluffy and light sawdust, and so much more. Sometimes it’s more about the experience than the product and that’s ok. 😉

Pre-K 4 met Cookie today! We learned all about guinea pigs including how they like to be held and why. These little animal lovers couldn’t get enough! 😊🐹🍪

Pre-K got an up close look at a few black swallowtail caterpillars today! 🐛

Pre-K explored the garden today! This is my favorite learning space on campus. We smelled the rosemary and peppermint, found milkweed beetles and shield bugs, and pulled seeds from dead flowers and planted new ones!
