My Project

Each year, our school hosts a school-wide STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) night. Historically, we have focused more on the SCIENCE aspect of STEAM. This year, we are planning to try something different and incorporate some ART techniques that represent some of the art techniques used by our favorite picture book authors in addition to the exciting other components of our STEAM night.

These model magic packages will allow our students to sculpt and create a character from one of their favorite texts!

The arts are becoming an increasingly overlooked component of public school curriculums. We are certain that our students will be thrilled to have an opportunity to display their artistic talents.
