In December, we studied a unit on the human digestive system. We learned about the steps of digestion, we wrote about it from the perspective of an organ, we tracked and graphed our meals and how we felt after we ate, we did 3 hands-on experiments. All of these were showing us how learning about the human body help us take better care of ourselves. This month's S.T.E.M. Challenge involved lots of team work. Students worked together in groups of 3 to build the longest paper chain, with only 15 pieces of paper, 1 stapler, scissors and 15 minutes. Students first thought up a plan, and then implemented. All groups worked well together.
We preformed a "Bob The Goofy Reindeer", a readers theater play, for our little buddy class. In groups of 6-8, we assigned ourselves roles, practiced it many times and finally showed off our talents to our little buddies and they loved it! The students performed it with great voice, and got into their characters.
