These ready-to-implement lessons are designed to weave the arts into STEM learning, encouraging collaboration, communication, creativity, and problem-solving. Additionally, they help boost fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
The curriculum includes read-aloud stories, step-by-step build instructions, engineering challenges, discussion points, and optional English Language Arts extensions. It features 12 one-hour, standards-aligned lessons that are ideal for classrooms, afterschool programs, and summer camps. Recommended for Early Elementary.
