Ms. Kylee, a senior in Early Childhood Education (ECE), recently taught lessons on exploring space to our KCCC Preschool children! Children learned that we live on planet Earth and that there is no air or water in space.
Some of the activities children participated in included:
-Moon rock play dough
-Creating our own shape rocket
-Stamping stars
-Making our own galaxy
-We even had a space center in our classroom
Students in ECE have fun preparing young children to enter kindergarten!
KCCC's HVAC program hosted their Trick and Treats event. The Tricks and Treats event is a business/vendor show where the HVAC juniors and seniors learn the tricks of the trades. This is where students meet and greet local businesses and vendors to learn about new products and discuss things that happen on a daily basis in HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing. Students learn about new tools and products that they may see in the future, while talking to possible future employers. Thank you to all of our employers for making this event a success!!
