SMITTEN with STEM {& our Kg. Buddies}
Please scroll through the slideshow below for up-close photos of the experiments as well as action shots of 4th grade students with their Kinder-buddies.
See full details on each experiment in my Scholastic blog post featuring these simple STEM activities that you can recreate in your own home using items easily found around the house!
I "MUSTACHE" You to be my Valentine!
Even amidst all of the fun...Mrs. Petlak managed to sneak in some STEM with our festivities! We created Cupid's bow and arrow using Rainbow Looms and straws. Students had to adjust their designs to create the bow/arrow that would fly the farthest. Afterwards, we kept these creations and use them as part of our interactive math centers for data and graphing using targets {details and photos of that coming soon}.
Be sure to check out our party pics and photo booth silliness below....and try not to get TOO hungry looking at the yummy goodies!
