In this ongoing class, students will participate in weekly exciting and engaging STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) challenges using simple materials found at home. Each class will begin with an introduction to the challenge of the week through a presentation, video clips, images etc... Ms. Erin will ask the students many different questions to encourage their critical thinking and logical reasoning skills. Students will be encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas. Students will then begin working on their projects while continuing to discuss and share ideas. If students finish during the class time, they may present their findings and results. Some students may require extra time to complete the challenges. They are welcome to post their results in the classroom. Here is the breakdown of the weeks: Week of April 13: Toy Invention Information: You can bring any craft materials you would like. Here are some ideas: Recyclables Paper Coloring materials Popsicle sticks/skewers Felt/fabric/cotton balls Scissors Glue Tape Googly eyes Week of April 20: Bridges Week of April 27: NO CLASS Week of May 4: Create-ure Week of May 11: Build an Animal Den Week of May 18: Build an Igloo Week of May 25: Design a Zoo Week of June 1: Magnetic Tracks Week of June 15: Air Foils Week of June 22: Clothespin Creations Week of June 29: Ultimate Creativity Challenge Week of July 6: The Great Egg Drop Week of July 13: Move the Cubes Week of July 20: Marshmallow Launchers Week of July 27: Build an Archimedes Screw No prior knowledge about any of the concepts is required in order to participate in this class. As this is an ongoing class, students may join at any time. The concepts are not cumulative and can each be learned separately. I look forward to teaching your children! Ms. Erin
Learning Goals

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Some of the challenges may require the use of scissors or possibly a hot glue gun and will require parental supervision. I will always indicate this in the classroom.
Supply List
I will post the materials in the classroom one week before each class. **If you register after the weekly message is posted, you may not be able to see it in the classroom. I try my best to email the list to new students before their first class, depending on how last minute they register. Materials are usually easy to find household items. I also recommend students bring a notebook or folder with paper so they may record their findings each week! If you are ever missing any of the materials, just let me know! There are always alternatives, or you can simply watch the activities and still enjoy the class! Week of April 13: Toy Invention Information: You can bring any craft materials you would like.
