HOW I USE THIS AS A STEM TEACHER:
I teach 360 students each week in grades K through 4th, so I created these Summer End of the Year themed stem activities to be able to easily set up, use reusable materials, and need low copying! I can adjust response sheets and challenges to meet each grade level. I need something quick and easy for me, yet engaging and challenging for my students! I hope your students enjoy these as much as mine do! :)
