My Project

What is STEM? Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics refer to a set of interlinked subjects that are important foundational concepts for kids and adults in today's world.

Learning can be fun, hands-on, and investigative!

In Mrs. Steele's Bunch, we are growing our brains every day in new and fun ways. Questions are encouraged!

Who knows, maybe today's first grader will be the scientist of the future.

Imagine that. What new and exciting discoveries will be made in the year 2035?

Maybe it will be made by someone from Mrs. Steele's Bunch!
