Our PSSAs will come to an end and fourth grade will be focusing our final month of school on a culminating unit of STEM. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Education, and Math. We will be investigating different scenarios and working as teams to solve problems. These scenarios include helping scientists out at the arctic circle, being deserted on a tropical island, and venturing into a pioneer town. They will be given a storyline for each challenger and will be required to work together to imagine and build something based on that story. We are in need of some items for these projects. If you are willing/able to send supplies to school, we would greatly appreciate it. Any items can be sent into school with your student by May 2nd. This is going to be an exciting and wonderful month of intense projects and learning.
Thank you so much in advance, and if you have any more questions concerning these projects, please let me know!
