For Fun Friday, Mr. Jim visited our PreK classroom and introduced students to electricity through a hands-on circuit experiment! Students explored how to create a simple circuit to light a bulb while testing different materials to see what conducts electricity. We loved seeing their curiosity, teamwork, and excitement during this fun STEM activity!
