My Project

Our school is actively working to increase STEM implementation throughout the school day. Our youngest students need the opportunity to increase their fine motor skills, imagination, critical thinking, and perseverance through free build time.

These Magna-Tiles and LEGOs will combine a love of reading and a love of STEM.

Students will be able to practice story-telling, sequencing, and critical thinking as they build with Magna Tiles and LEGOs. They will be able to practice their fine motor skills and critical thinking as they collaborate and build puzzles together. Students will engage in multidisciplinary thinking and discussion while they play! Teachers can read books out loud, such as 'Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear' and then students can manipulate the MagnaTiles and put the story in sequential order or discuss the multiple animals in the story.

These materials will help PK-3 students practice inquiring, problem-solving, and collaboration throughout the school year. The computer science standards that will be addressed are WL.K12.IL.8.3: Discuss familiar topics in other subject areas, such as geography, history, music, art, science, math, language, or literature; WL.K12.IM.7.2: Use previously acquired vocabulary to discuss familiar topics in other subject areas such as geography, history, music, art, science, math, language, or literature to reinforce and further knowledge of other disciplines through the target language; SC.K2.CS-CS.6.1: Identify tasks that are made easier because of computers. Some of the ELA standards that will be addressed are ELA.K.R.1.1 Describe the main character(s), setting, and important events in a story and ELA.K.R.3.2: Retell a text orally to enhance comprehension: a)Use main character(s), setting, and important events for a story. b)Use topic and details for an informational text.

I will be able to measure student outcomes through STEAM surveys given at the beginning and ending of the academic year.
