5th Grade STEAM

Welcome to our STEAM Class!

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. We will be using all of these subjects when doing hands on Project Based Learning (PBL) challenges. PBL is a teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects.

We will engage in both individual and group projects and rubrics will be used to measure outcomes. Students will be graded on the outcomes and knowledge gained from the class projects. There will be no formal tests in this class. Homework will only be assigned if a student has fallen behind; most of the time due to excessive absences.

The best way to reach me is through email at bgriller@holmdelschools.org, I will get back to you that same day or by the next school day at the latest.
