My goal for year three is to continue to create a steam culture in my Math classroom. This if my first year teaching all math, so this is a transition year for me.   I plan to do this by having my students work in groups, provide opportunities for collaborating, and encourage questioning.  I plan to do this by incorporating the 4 C's.

My Science students worked in groups of 2 in reading challenging articles about space from 1969-1985. These were very challenging articles for them to read, and a major struggle. Once they finished reading they found another group of 2 that had their same article and analyzed the article
as a whole and create a poster on it. Once they finished we had them do a gallery walk! This was a great way to challenge students and push them to have conversations about difficult text that was challenging to read.

Students worked on creating ski ramps for the olympics. Students were given specific parameters on the steepness of the slope. They had to create a proper rise and run. They also had to decide on what materials to use when creating their ramps. They also had to pitch a marking spiel as to why their design was better than the others.
