STEAM Expo night is this Wednesday, November 18th!

Room K-3 students prepare for our EXPO.

STEAM Expo Night
Our Fall Expo will take place this Wednesday, November 18th, from 4:30 PM - 7:00 PM.  The night will be broken up into two different blocks of time: Grades K, 2, 4, and 6 present from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.  Grades 1, 3, 5, and 7 present from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.  In between, from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM, there is time for transition and dinner.  This flyer details all the EXPO times and presentations.  Room K-3 students need to be in our classroom as presenters from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.  If your child has siblings that present during the same block, the final fifteen minutes of that block can be used to visit the sibling’s room.

Steam Expo Attire
As I wrote last week, the goal for our STEAM Expo is to have all students dress up and look nice.  Students are presenting the learning they have done and we want them to feel the importance of the night.  After school on Wednesday, have your students change into dressier clothes but don’t feel like you need to be super fancy; a nice pair of slacks, a collared shirt, blouse, or dress etc. are all good choices.

Mini Spirit Week
Starting on Wednesday of this week we will have three spirit days.  On Wednesday, during the school day, students should wear A2Steam clothes or the A2Steam colors, blue and white.  On Thursday students will relax with pajama day.  On Friday we will have hat day.

Curriculum Overview
Science Weather Project - We are preparing for our STEAM Expo!  This week students will review what they have learned and practice the different stations that we will have for the Expo.  On Thursday and Friday we will reflect.
