It is amazing to think that our students will someday work in jobs/careers that do not even exist at this time. In order to prepare our students for the future, our elementary school is currently in the process of earning a school STEAM endorsement. We have over 1200 students that enrich our school with diverse backgrounds, cultures, and learning styles. Teachers are trying to provide these diverse students with the understanding and tools of problem-based learning. While science, technology, engineering, art, and math are a key focus, we believe it is important to integrate and reinforce these subjects through literacy instruction. Literacy skills are vital to understanding STEM concepts and will lead to success across all disciplines. The purpose of this grant money would be to fund the creation of a STEAM library and maker space. Providing our teachers and students with STEAM literacy resources(books) would be an effective way to ensure every teacher feels comfortable creating a student centered environment where students are actively engaged in a wide variety of authentic experiences in the classroom.
