WHAT’S THE BUZZ AT ESS!
STEAM NEWS from Mrs. Charette
Students are working hard during
their STEAM class every other week!
The STEAM acronym stands for
Science, Technology, Engineering,
Arts, and Mathematics. With that in
mind, STEAM is also the process of
learning, working together and solving
problems. The program adopted by
EPS, Project Lead the Way (PLTW),
gives classroom teachers and I an
incredible opportunity to compliment
one another’s work. Students are
gaining a deeper understanding of the
content covered in their science units,
while further developing skills in other
areas and seeing the purpose of the
hard work they do every day.
Kindergarten is well into their unit
of Pushes and Pulls, while first grade is
studying Light and Sound and second
grade has already learned a great deal
about maps during their unit titled The
Changing Earth.
MATH NEWS
Mrs. Baroni and Mrs. Radkovich
Students at Enfield Street School have
been working hard and are becoming
great mathematicians. They have
been working hard to improve and
strengthen their core numeracy skills
and math computation. Students are
learning new strategies and skills
through the Ready Math Program.
We are so impressed when we see
them solving problems in their own
way and becoming critical thinkers.
Students have just completed their
second iReady Diagnostic test. We are
so proud of their hard work and
perseverance!
Remember math is all around us,
whether it is in a store reading the
prices, looking at license plates,
cooking, telling time or using money.
These are great opportunities to have
your child read, identify, compare and
compute numbers.
