Ms. Knapp's Kindergarten class became "Junior Engineers" on Friday! A parent volunteer, Ms. Sondra, brought in Legos for the class and the challenge was to design, build, and race custom-made cars down the ramp! The best part was the redesign phase—after every race, students headed back to the pits to tweak their creations for more speed. Everyone had a total blast!
