4 live meetings
2 in-class hoursClass Experience
For each class students will experience a story from children's literature that will connect them to the natural and manmade world. Classes will consist of: - teacher led reading, - hands-on activity using minimal supplies, nature, and technology, - discussions to connect the book to STEM concepts, and - thinking routines to assist student's in their reflection. Topics will include: - Monday: Ecosystems with the book - Tall, Tall Tree by Anothy Fredricks - Tuesday: Ecology with the book - Paddle, Perch, Climb. Bird Feet are Neat by Laurie Ellen Angus - Wednesday: Ecology with the book - Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner. - Thursday: Engineering with the book - What To Do with A Box by Jane Yolen - Friday: Using Engineering thinking to design an ecosystem This introductory class needs no prior knowledge, just an interest in science and/or books. Classes will be held online and incorporate discussion, hands-on learning, and self led learning throughout each class. Reflections will engage through group wide thinking routine that engage individual thought on skills and concepts gained through class.
Learning Goals
Students will gain:
- interest in ready and connecting the stories in books to science and math concepts happening in the world around them
- understand the importance of standard units of measurement
- practice asking and investigating questions about the natural world

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
I'm excited to meet you (digitally) and eager to explore science concepts and thinking with your child(ren).
I'm a scientist turned educator with a passion for being outside, exploring, and looking at the ways we can use nature to learn more about the world around us.
I encourage students to explore and experience science with a hands-on approach and then reflect on learning to help understand concepts and connections. Children are naturally scientists but can forget how curious they are...I work to bring out their curiosity, engage their questions, while helping them find the answers through phenomena driven lessons and classes.
