🐜✨ PreK learners exploring science and discovery at SHELC! ✨🐜
Our PreK learners were fully engaged as they explored insects and learned all about ants and their body parts! Through hands-on discussion, observation, and interactive learning, learners identified key features such as the head, thorax, and abdomen while building vocabulary and scientific thinking skills.
We love seeing our youngest Hawks developing curiosity, confidence, and a love for learning through meaningful experiences. Great job to our teachers for creating engaging, standards-aligned lessons that bring science to life!
