STREAM

S – Science

T – Technology

R – Religion/Reading

E – Engineering

A – Art

M – Mathematics

Welcome to the 2025/2026 school year! I am so excited that STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion/Reading, Engineering, Art and Math is now an expansion of STEM. STREAM uses the engineering and design process that allows students to engage in collaborative problem-solving activities to enhance their critical thinking skills. 

Early learners will begin with designing projects utilizing hands-on materials like building blocks, clay, and Legos. Intermediate and upper-grade students will learn to research and create models using various materials while applying the engineering process. All grades will take part in Science experiments and NASA-based STEM lessons. The skills that students will develop in STREAM will build a solid foundation for future learning.
