We had so much fun this year integrating Read Across America week and our new Makerspace. We found a fantastic resource online that had ideas for STEAM projects associated with many of our favorite Dr. Seuss books. During Read Across America week, each grade spent time in the Makerspace creating, designing and building. The results were GREAT and we had a blast!
Kindergarten read If I Ran the Zoo and designed animals out of found materials.
First Grade read Horton Hatches and Egg and designed "new" animals in the spirit of the elephant-bird by combining two other animals.
Second Grade read The Lorax and designed truffula trees.
Third and Fourth Grade read Oh, the Places You'll Go and designed shoes.
