Congratulations to the following schools for their participation in the STEAM power WV Challenge.
3rd Grade
Lakewood Elementary School, Kanawha County
Teacher: Jodi Ballard
My students had a blast with these activities. We love hands on learning and STEM activities.
This challenge gave them the opportunity to incorporate both of those things and let them work collaboratively. They loved it!
4th Grade Paw Paw Elementary School, Morgan County
Teacher: Cortney Kile
I (and the class) love the lessons and objectives. The videos hold student attention, and the activities that follow are very hands-on. Great way to integrate several subjects into the classroom!
5th Grade Winfield Elementary School, Putnam County
Teacher: Barb Blankenship
My students have really enjoyed these lessons and learning about different people and jobs in WV. Their artwork is fabulous and they were so creative in their thinking.
Each classroom has been awarded a cash prize to purchase supplies. If you are interested in using these lessons in your classroom follow this link: wvpublic.org/steam-power-wv
