🫧 Engineering in Action! 🫧 Mrs. Johnson’s kindergarten class has been busy working on their Engineering by Design unit. Last week, our young engineers drew their own bubble-wand designs, then on Friday they used pipe cleaners to bring their ideas to life. Today was the big moment ,we tested our bubble wands and had so much fun seeing our creations in action! 💨✨ #EngineeringByDesign #FrattFalcons #KindergartenFun #STEMLearning #BubbleScience

Even principals need a mindful moment! 🌿 While visiting Mrs. Oliver’s kindergarten class as they practiced using scissors, our principal took a short break in the TAB area to model self-care. 💛 Just like Daniel Tiger says, ‘When you feel so mad that you want to roar… take a deep breath and count to four!’ 🐯💚 For World Mental Health Week, we’re reminding students (and grown-ups!) that it’s okay to pause, breathe, and reset. #MentalHealthweek #FrattCares #MindfulMoments #TakeABreak
