![]() ![]() ![]() This month’s A Read A Day challenge is going to dive us into a big pile of STEM themed picture books. These days whatever you are learning about – there is likely to be a STEM related picture book to entertain, engage, and education as part of your exploration or unit. STEM is a great fit for my family and integrating picture books into that learning is of course where I naturally go. My son is forever engineering and experimenting. My daughter is fascinated by animals and general inquiry. I think from this new interest in STEM education buzzing around our preschools and up has in part caused the huge explosion of amazing STEM themed children’s books in recent years. STEM is a curriculum approach that encourages interdisciplinary teaching in the areas of all four of these disciplines that teaching a different way of look at problems and the world. STEM quite simply stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Do you know this education buzzword: STEM? I don’t think you can attend a school open house or PTA meeting these days without hearing it, but it doesn’t seem like everyone actually knows what it means. ![]()
