My Project

I am a second year teacher in the classroom and I want to incorporate more STEAM/STEM in my classroom. I also want the students to have a variety of indoor recess games they either aren't used to or probably have never played with before. I may not always be able to incorporate STEAM everyday, but I am trying to find another way to fit it in! My school is a STEAM school, but I am trying to incorporate other ways for my students to be able to work with STEAM related things. With YOUR help, I can make this happen!
