One of the defining characteristics of living things is growth and development. Although not a living things, that's exactly what's happening with Kiddie Science! After seven amazing years at the commercial space we lovingly called the Lab, we officially all packed up and into the world.
Happy New Year!
Thank you for joining us for our culminating annual celebration! We danced, played, ate together, crafted, and had fun among friends. Truly an amazing way to end our time at the Kiddie Science Lab! Check out some of the pictures below- Your love and concern for the living things at the Kiddie Science Lab means this question has been asked quite a lot recently! Although we've been making updates on our social media, we want to make it blog official! So, where did the living things at the Lab go?
To culminate our ten weeks of exploration, the third graders embarked on a final project that combined art and science. Using real adaptation and characteristics, we designed a specie of our very own! After finalizing its criteria, we drew it, then made it out of clay. On the last day, we added final details then were able to view each other's final creation.
Research shows that early exposure to science builds critical thinking skills and fosters a lifelong love of learning. For children whose first language is not English, bilingual instruction ensures they can participate fully in learning science without the barrier of language.
Science is a universal language, and teaching it bilingually celebrates and validates the cultural and linguistic diversity of students. Studies indicate that bilingual education promotes cognitive flexibility, better problem-solving abilities, and heightened creativity—all essential skills for budding scientists. Additionally, bilingual science instruction helps families engage with their children's learning by making science accessible to families who may not speak English. This school year, Kiddie Science is thrilled to be partnering with the Cypress Hills Childcare Corporation to expand our bilingual science offerings to their entire network of childcare locations! |
