Fairy Tale STEM!

As we wrapped up our fairy tale writing unit, we incorporated math and science into the genre! Students have been completing fairy tale STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) challenges!

First up was the three pigs! Using only toothpicks and sticky dots candies, groups had to construct a house for the pigs that would withstands the wolf's powerful blow (my blow dryer)!

Students were really successful!

Next up, the Billy Goats! They needed a raft to safely float down the river! Students could use only straws and rubber bands!

Junior Achievement

This spring we were privileged to receive the Junior Achievement Program! We learned about community zones, businesses, money, and more! The curriculum pairs so well with our economics unit!  Check out the fun activities! 

A huge thank you to our parent volunteer for planning and preparing these engaging lessons and activities! Students had a blast!
