STEM: What is everyone talking about?
Learning takes place in many different ways. Each day is filled with lots of opportunities for these moments! We want to help children to explore, observe, ask questions, predict and integrate their learning. Let's provide our children with lots of opportunities - Let's STEM!
A cool science experiment
Use blocks as measuring tools or to build structures
Use household items and be creative
Simple things parents can do at home:
- Put measuring cups and spoons in the bathtub for play.
- Use a growth chart or scale to measure a child’s height/weight.
- Let a toddler put money in a piggy bank (good for fine motor skills, too).
- Sort laundry together.
- Sort toys into their correct containers.
- Use recyclables or other items to build things.
- Measure items around the house using string, popsicle sticks, straws, or lego blocks as measuring tools.
- Put treasures in a container to explore.
- Let them help in the kitchen.
- Model using technology as a tool and set limits on it's use.
- Listen, talk, and answer.
