Kindergarten: Astronomy Integrated Studies

Each trimester, PCS students across all grade levels embark on a shared unit of Integrated Study. The school studies a shared topic — this trimester, Astronomy — and each class finds its own theme within the topic to explore. The Integrated Unit brings together multiple disciplines in hands-on, project based learning in each class, and the shared topic amplifies learning across grade levels, as multi-age learners collaborate.

Kindergarten students were thrilled to welcome visitors and see them reenact the planets’ orbits, find constellations in their constellation viewers, look through the solar scope, and leaf through their Solar System books. Watch below to see the Kindergarten astronomers in action:
