This week, we started to use my STEM Fall Into Thanksgiving Pack. We have finished up our first units for FOSS at many grade levels and it is sure fun to take a STEM break!
I love the way that the book Run, Turkey, Run! fits our STEM activity of making a maze. We used the story map to create scenery along the way...You could always use another turkey book's story line to help your engineers...
I start with a box from juice from our lunchroom. We grab colored paper, popsicle sticks, jenga blocks, and cubes that we have in our classroom along with a marble for each maze.
Here are some of their a-maze-ing turkey runs!

| They loved working together as a team to create the runs and the scenery, but most of all to play with the maze! |
 |
| What a great Fall STEM station! |
 |
| Their teacher even had fun! |

In Kindergarten...we finished up another positional word STEM activity with the Three Billy Goats Gruff! There is a great version of this story to read on EPIC books that is a nice positive twist! It goes along well with the positive twist on Miss Muffet we use with the song on youtube!
 |
| This version is great...the troll doesn't want to "have them for dinner"...He wants to have them over for dinner! |
Take a look at the kindergarten bridges and puppets that they use to retell the story! Science and language arts can go hand in hand!
 |
| We work with retelling word cards...up...across...over...under...next to... |
 |
| We draw and discuss what a bridge needs in order to get across... |
 |
| We then let our kinders play with the puppets to reenact the story line! |
I love to see them be creative and play and science can do that!
Next week...boats to go under the bridge! They are very excited!
