Our third graders received dictionaries today from Mr. Peter Kittel and Mrs. Michelle Hussey, courtesy of the Optimist Club! Mr. Kittel talked with students about how to use their dictionaries and why they’re such a great tool for learning new words. Thank you to our presenters and to the Optimist Club for your continued support! #brillionlions

It’s never too early to explore STEM! Earlier this year, in Mrs. Geiger’s afternoon class, students were learning all about shapes. They discovered which shapes can roll—like the wheels on a bus—and why others cannot. This hands-on activity helped them connect math to the real world in a fun and engaging way! #brillionstem #brillionlions

Tug-of-war turned into a science lesson for our third graders! Through pulling on the rope, they discovered the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces and how pushes and pulls create motion. A perfect mix of teamwork and STEM learning! #brillionlions #brillionstem

A big thank you to Chief Meteorologist Steve Beylon from WBAY’s Action 2 News for helping our kindergartners become “weather ready”! He shared a fun story, helpful safety tips, and the memorable phrase, “When thunder roars, go indoors!” The students were thrilled to learn from a real meteorologist. #brillionlions

Parents can catch a glimpse of their young learners on Monday, November 17th, when Action 2 News will feature clips every half hour on the 10’s and 40’s. Please tune in to see our budding weather experts in action! #brillionstem #brillionlions

The 4K students had a breezy time in the STEM Center learning all about how the wind blows! They experimented with different weighted items to discover what moves easily in the wind and what doesn’t. Through hands-on exploration, they observed, compared, and made predictions — all while having fun watching the power of the wind in action! #brillionstem #brillionlions
