Welcome to Academic Infused Minecraft STEAM Activities 2.
🎁 Please enjoy this gift from me. Promo Code: STEAMdream10 will gift you $10 towards my high-interest, academics infused into Minecraft, self-paced courses.

➡️ Multiple lesson per Minecraft theme. Contains four engaging books read aloud for early readers, multiple EPIC creative and Minecraft challenges for learners, personally created Minecraft video tutorials, and bonus Minecraft themed activity pages including mazes, early ELA writing, and early Math printable activity pages that I have created in homeschooling my own Minecrafter and for our class! There are 4 different Minecraft themed early reader books in total for this course. One week I read the book read aloud with bonus content and ELA skills.

➡️ Learners are invited to respond to my experience, build challenges and discussion questions as they wish, posting images, screen recordings, questions, and idea descriptions.

💖I respond all learner's posts with specific positive feedback. I am responsive, engaging, inclusive, and empowering.

💡My high-interest self-paced courses are fully asynchronous with *no live meetings* to affirm learners to participate in a way that works best for their schedules, pace, and strengths, eliminating the stress of rigid schedule times and deadlines of live meetings. Self-paced courses are inclusive to multiple learning styles and learner needs, potentially fostering greater engagement. Learners can pause, skip around, and rewatch my Minecraft video tutorials as they wish as well as choosing the tutorials that inspire their interests the most. My self-paced courses are interactive, engaging, empowering, and affirming. I am responsive to questions and posts. The only supplies needed are Minecraft Bedrock or Education Edition and an interest in our course topic. This is a flexible schedule, asynchronous course with no live meetings and extended time by accessing my content through their learner transcripts.
