We do have 20 minutes each day though and these activities would be perfect! We did one STEM activity last year - building a house for the fourth little pig - and my students said it was their favorite thing we did all year! I love the idea of doing a STEM challenge once a week. Especially since we don't always have time for full science and social studies units.<br /><br />Kristin<br /><a href="http://teachinginanutshell.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Teaching In A Nutshell</a>Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13224076569866285751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562817105461401104.post-54457752974557242882014-06-24T06:59:55.164-04:002014-06-24T06:59:55.164-04:00Great idea!!
