STEAM @ MORRISON
This is a project we’ve been wanting to do for a while, and we’re SO EXCITED to finally be able to work on it! This lab will be designed with all of our students in mind, and will be a safe space for learning, creating, and exploring all things STEAM.
How to Help…
If you are interested in helping financially, we will graciously accept any cash or check donations at school. Please put any donations in an envelope labeled “STEAM” and place it in the gray drop box in the lobby hallway.
WHAT IS STEAM?
STEAM refers to the concepts of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. You might be thinking your preschooler is “too young” to understand these concepts, and you wouldn’t be completely wrong. They are, however, the perfect age to begin fostering and encouraging a love for these disciplines. In a Preschool setting…
Science is investigating, asking questions, observing, and conducting experiments to help us understand the natural world
Technology looks like simple tools or machines such as scissors, crayons, and wheels, not necessarily electronics like tablets or computers
Engineering is building, designing, recognizing problems, and testing solutions
Arts make learning visible! Music and drama are also included in the arts
Mathematics is the understanding of numbers, shapes, patterns, and more
THE SPACE
Previously used as the “Game Room” for the MUMC Youth Ministry, this room will be transformed into a creative learning space for all children at Morrison Preschool
