My students love learning through hands-on activities. We have a lot of energy and these activities allow us to move around and stay engaged. I have recently began teaching STEM learning activities in my classroom. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. It is far more than that though! It is a philosophy of education that embraces teaching skills and subjects in an a way that resembles real life. STEM activities allow my students to work together to solve problems! These resources will also allow my classroom to have a lego wall! A lego wall can be used in multiple of the STEM activities I am implementing in my classroom. The lego wall will help students practice math, spelling, and allow them to use their creativity to solve problems!
