STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. We are working on helping our students to grow in their skills of problem-solving, planning, innovation, and creative thinking. These are all skills that are transferable to different aspects of life outside of the classroom. Each week we take some time to be creative and use a variety of items to build different things. Sometimes it is hard! Trying to make a lunch box using straws and connectors takes some careful planning and innovation. Here are some STEM activities that you can try at home.
This year we are starting to learn about coding! The class is very excited about this. We start by using block code which is just blocks of commands (for example: move forward) that you need to put into the correct order.
