Science
Let the 2018 Winter Olympics begin!! We will be learning about several different winter sports, building games, and competing in our Winter STEM Games! This excellent engaging activity will be a big hit! Please continue to send those toilet paper and paper towel rolls in.
These activities will help learners develop critical thinking and engineering skills. Learners will plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity and game, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't work. Let the games begin!
