My Project

I have been lucky enough to be able to teach STEAM for the past four years, and last year added CTE coordinator to my job title. This school year, I created a whole new curriculum to vertically align everything my students do K-6. Each grade level does a similar project based learning project, but based on their grade's standards. It is hands-on all year. My students are going through their prototyping phase and I'm beginning to realize I need to refill some of the materials I thought I originally bought enough of.

My students need to refresh their STEAM supplies in order to be able to complete their PBL projects.

By the end of these projects, students will experience the entire design process from a business standpoint. Everything from product development and creation to marketing and advertising.

There are also days when students need a break, so I've also added speed cube sets for my upper el students to challenge themselves when they've finished early, or if I have a sub. I've also added a card game that my students introduced me to that helps with math, but also takes a lot of luck to win.
