Building Brains

LEGO I Engineering Camp

Morning Camp for 4* & 5 year olds {*must be 4 by January 1, 2013}


BUILDING BRAINS uses LEGO and K’NEX educational kits to BUILD math and science skills. These educational building kits have specially designed gears, levers and pulleys that teach students to build simple machines that really work.Our students will BUILD simple machines while BUILDING fine motor skills and confidence.

Classes are designed to reinforce classroom curriculum. Students use colors, sizes and shapes to correctly build a simple machine and then perform a scientific experiment to see how it works. In each class students will build a new and exciting machine and watch it work! Literacy skills are improved by memorizing poems with hand motions about gears, levers and pulleys to reinforce how they work and what they do.

Classes are progressive and build on one another. This is the next generation of critical thinking toys! We wrap our hands and our heads around a problem.

Building Brains

LEGO I Engineering Camp

Morning Camp for 4* & 5 year olds {*must be 4 by January 1, 2013}


BUILDING BRAINS uses LEGO and K’NEX educational kits to BUILD math and science skills. These educational building kits have specially designed gears, levers and pulleys that teach students to build simple machines that really work.Our students will BUILD simple machines while BUILDING fine motor skills and confidence.

Classes are designed to reinforce classroom curriculum. Students use colors, sizes and shapes to correctly build a simple machine and then perform a scientific experiment to see how it works. In each class students will build a new and exciting machine and watch it work! Literacy skills are improved by memorizing poems with hand motions about gears, levers and pulleys to reinforce how they work and what they do.

Classes are progressive and build on one another. This is the next generation of critical thinking toys! We wrap our hands and our heads around a problem.

---

The GrowZone curriculum teaches three core truths to children, based on Luke 2:52, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favour." By provoking discovery about God and who He is in their lives, children learn that:

I can trust God no matter what

I need to make wise choices

I should treat others the way I want to be treated

Concepts introduced in our child care program (age 3 through Pre-K) are reinforced so that children develop a deeper understanding of their faith.


The 10:15 AM class begins with large-group interaction with high-energy music, where they hear the Bible lesson and are introduced to a virtue. Monthly virtues are then studied in small groups, with similar-aged children. Take-home pieces and interactive links to content are available to parents.

For more information about Sunday School, please contact Holli Kight at 713/985-3816.


Note: These groups will not meet on holidays or during Church campus closings. Please contact the group leader for updates.

Yellowstone Academy is collecting “Boxtops for Education”, found on the boxes of grocery store products such as cereal, tissues, sandwich bags, etc. Please clip these for our friends at Yellowstone and leave in the “Yellowstone Box Tops” container beside the Outreach boxes in the Activity Center.
