This summer, I applied for a Donor's Choose grant. My request was for six new STEAM kits.
It was quickly filled. I used the first kit to coordinate with Johnny Appleseed's birthday. The students read a non-fiction text about him then followed engineering design process to create an apple orchard. The book was read from Book Flix on Power Library. Power Library is available through your public library in Pennsylvania with a library card OR through a school that purchases Power Library.
Then the students divided up into pairs to design an apple orchard using a Lake Shore Learning Kit that we recieved from our Donor's Choose grant.
To follow up, students in third grade wrote thank you notes. I will post several of the letters below as well important links.
