STEM

I was excited when the topic of STEM came up in my student teaching group. All I knew was that it stood for science, technology, engineering, and math. I didn't know how to implement it. Since we do science first semester at my school, it was good to see how the process works. I will be brainstorming a first grade project for us to try after fall break. In the meantime, I decided to use the evaluation process of plus and delta to a writing project we were working on. We are learning how to write personal narratives. After a few days of writing rough drafts, the students traded papers. They were asked to write a plus and a delta on their neighbor's paper. It was fun to incorporate this into a writing assignment.
