STEAM and Stories for Creative and Curious Kids

STEAM for children:
Science means making observations, investigating, making predictions, and experimentation. 
Technology is using simple things like play dough and rulers as tools, and making and building with the materials we have.
Engineering refers to recognizing problems and testing solutions to solve them.
Art encourages our creativity and expression and builds our imagination and confidence.
Math incorporates number sense and math operations, but also patterns and shapes, and sorting and classifying.

In this fun, interactive, and hands-on class we will listen to fantastic stories and then complete a STEAM project based on the story:
We will read the sweet story of "The Lion and the Little Red Bird" and make paintbrushes from found objects like pompoms and cardboard tubes and bubble wrap and yarn, and then paint together.
We'll design and make cool animals after we read "What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?" and find out about the special parts that make up animals.
We will design and build our own dream cars after we read "If I Built a Car" together.  We can use cardboard boxes, egg cartons, plastic bottles, construction paper, lids, straws, whatever we like!
After we read "The Little Red Fort" we can build our own amazing forts with things like cardboard boxes, popsicle sticks, clay, and construction paper.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  I hope I see you in class soon!
