STEM is such a vital and exciting part of any kindergarten classroom. They teach a variety of different skills including those that come when teaching science, technology, engineering or math! My favorite part about STEM, though, is that my students always think we’re just playing. I try very hard to make sure that my students have as much fun while learning as possible, and these Winter STEM ideas are exactly what I like!
