We are so excited to say that our first Virtual STEM lessons are occurring this week. We have 9 IU13 classes registered to participate from AS, ES, MDS and Itinerant AS. We are looking forward to this new venture with our students and teachers. We want to give out a big to those nine staff members for jumping into this with us. We can’t wait for the experience.

Here is the first STEM Lesson for February. Today's lesson came from a lesson I did for a professional development activity. I also pulled some ideas from a lesson that Rachel Weiler IU13 Emotional Support teacher at VREC used early this school year. For this lesson you need balloons and masking tape.

Happy Weekend- I decided that I would start blogging STEM lesson plans a couple times a month to assist teachers. I know everyone is busy; so hopefully this will help out a bit. You might have to tweak my lesson plan based on grade level or program. It is never too young to complete STEM lessons in your classroom - just ask our HeadStart teacher Sue Bowers! She was teaching numbers, counting, and PROBABILITY with her 3 year olds last week using Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons. Today's lesson comes from Teach Beside Me- Educate Creatively The lesson using trays, styrofoam (cups, balls, or beads), and pure acetone.

Sending a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped with the STEM Item Donations: Thank you all for your generous donations of all the items I had requested from my last blog or message in the Staff News at IU13. We have used so many of the items so far and I am ready for the rest of my February lessons. Thank you again. I also want to also thank those that emailed me about Art of Recycle in Ephrata. I had known about this amazing place where I also get items for my STEM lessons. I have some new items that I am in need of now for March lessons. I have plenty of items that I had requested before.
