The Academy of McKay's Mill Online Newsletter : Gummy Bear Experiment

Gummy Bear Experiment

More Splish Splash fun was had this week! Our project on Monday was an experiment involving gummy bears. The kids hypothesized what would happen if they submerged gummy bears in a cup of water. We had several great answers, i.e. "They may drown", "They will have a huge drink of water", (hahaha!)...

In the end the kids saw the bears soak up the water & drown to 3x their original size! This was such a simple, yet cool project for every age.

KINDERGARTEN BOOT CAMP: AN ACADEMY EXCLUSIVE

The Academy is recognized by the community for our kindergarten specific programs including our one-of-a-kind Kindergarten Boot Camp. Our Pre-K program includes hands-on explorations that create new learning connections in language, math, science, social, emotional and physical development. Children investigate “Big Ideas” and are actively involved in seeking answers to their own questions. Intentional daily plans cover a specific range of guidelines that prepare our children to meet and exceed kindergarten readiness standards for both public and private schools. Kindergarten Boot Camp, offered exclusively by Never Grow Up, is a dedicated summer program that teaches important, yet often overlooked, skills needed to navigate kindergarten with confidence. Skills such as remembering a lunch number, carrying a lunch tray or returning a library book are examples of how we “train” our Academy kids to “be all they can be”!
