In this fun and exciting course, learners will get to explore a new STEM concept every 2 weeks. This will allow students to be able to read the books before coming to class. We will discuss together what happened in the story, what the characters learned, and our own favorite parts. Learners will be expected to read the book before coming to class. These books are a favorite of mine and past students and are a great way to jump into reading chapter books. The goal of this class is to learn new concepts and instill the joy of reading to young learners.
