August/September
The beginning of the school year included learning routines, STEM behaviors, teamwork, and the role of an engineer.
Some of our favorite activities included:
Learning about architects and how they use detailed plans, problem-solving, collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thining to create designs (just like engineers!!).
After reading, The Three Little Pigs: An Architectural Tale students designed their own houses, with unqiue materials. Mrs. Barr used a small blower (The WOLF!) to test structure strength. It was a fun way to encourage teamwork, architectural, and engineering skills!
Learning how to use various materials, tools, folds, and cuts to help us build and create. This included learning a flange cut, ripping masking tape to size, using a hole puncher, brads, and paper clips, and taping materials so that they stand.
