Indoor recess is full of creativity and laughter! ☀️🎨🧩 Even though we stayed inside, our students made the most of it with games, building activities, and lots of smiles. We love seeing them turn any space into a place for fun! Here is some good moments from Mrs. Schroetter's 1st grade class. #KMDolphins #MakingWavesAtKM #learnleadsucceedbpd3
🧡📚 Library Time with Ms. Jane! 🐿️
Today Ms. Jane from the library visited our class, and we learned all about squirrels! The students had so much fun — especially when it was time to paint using forks to create their furry-tailed artwork. We love learning in such creative and hands-on ways! #KMDolphins #MakingWavesAtKM #learnleadsucceedbpd3
🌼 Hands-On Science Fun! 🐝
Our 3rd grade students loved the Make a Flower activity today! They created their own paper flowers and pipe-cleaner bees, then “flew” their bees from flower to flower to see what happens to pollen during the process.
It was an exciting way to explore how pollination works — and to see our young scientists learning through creativity and play! #KMDolphins #MakingWavesAtKM #learnleadsucceedbpd3
