STEAM

STEAM time continues to be a daily activity in the pre-k classroom. During STEAM time, the children choose from a variety of activities that satisfy their gross and fine motor skills, as well as their math, engineering, art, and science skills. Along with these individualized activities, children have the opportunity to move freely around the room, get creative, and socialize.

While one child might be working on percentages and addition with a bead frame into the thousands, others might be working with base ten blocks, geo boards, or using measuring tools.

You might see children measuring with rulers and comparing objects, using the language of the discipline: taller, shorter, wider, thinner. 

Somewhere else in the classroom a group might be collaborating on a racetrack, designing ramps and cars that move on the track using gravity.

You might see children designing unicorns on the geoboards.

 

 

Here is a child who chose double digit addition using the base ten blocks while celebrating the 100th day of school!
