not always "easy" and sometimes what I would call misleading- STEM! It's often overthought, and when I was first exposed to it I didn't think I implemented this in my class at all. Lo and behold- I did. The simple way to explain STEM would be integrating concepts and ideas and engaging all students while doing this-- while still putting an emphasis on communicating and collaborating. The most difficult part of this journey is letting go. I have had to let go of the kids to allow them to come up with ideas on their own. Seeing as though they are 5-6, I struggle with this. By opening myself to STEM, I have seen the children flourish and find their voice and their independence, which is a marvelous sight. I must say, the journey is freeing, not just for me, but also for my students. I am overwhelmingly thankful for this experience.
