"Full STEAM away" ... Have you ever thought about a classroom based on daily inquiry based knowledge? Students digging into materials outside of text books and using their hands to discover the knowledge that will help them for the future? Walk into my classroom for a moment and this is what you will see. Smiling students with a yearning to learn using their mind, manipulatives, and conversations to grow in depth for a better education. Our daily routine consists of STEAM. Do you know what that is? Well.. its a routine of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. When you put this all together its a world of knowledge and depth that the students really take responsibility for their own learning!
