This week in Kinder, our theme was Skyscrapers Around the World. The students explored the tallest skyscrapers in the world, discovered why these giants don’t fall over, and learned how architects and engineers solve the challenges of supporting such massive structures. They even built their own LEGO tower and tested its strength and stability!
Our curious learners didn’t just watch a demonstration, they became real scientists! Teachers provided a variety of materials like sugar, salt, and soda, and let students experiment on their own to discover what makes eggs float. Through hands-on exploration, they uncovered the science behind density and buoyancy, learning through trial, error, and a lot of excitement.
Creativity is never missing at YALP! Students tried a new scratch painting technique (刮画技术/刮畫技術). Using shaving cream and food coloring, they pressed paper on top and scraped across with a ruler to reveal colorful, swirling artwork beneath.
It’s a harvest time for our upper-grade students! They proudly gathered the green onions and vegetables they planted earlier this term, made delicious scallion vegetable pancakes (蔬菜葱油饼/蔬菜蔥油餅) and joyfully shared them with teachers and parents.
Our teachers are so proud to see the activities they plan come to life, filling each moment with wonder, learning, and lots of laughter.
