Today our amazing tech teacher, Ms. Falco and I had a conversation about kindergarten and the 3-D printers at STEM. She had a couple of my students watching the 3-D printer create a pot that one of them had designed on a pottery app. We talked about how we could get the kinder students to start designing objects to be printed and came up with this project. For the end of the year kinder celebration, we always have the kids do an art project to bring home. This year, the kids are Setting Sail from Kindetgarten, so we decided that we'd have the kids design boats with their initials in them to be printed and put in shadow boxes. This is our first test print and I can honestly say that Ms. Falco and I were just as excited about the product as our designer! Can't wait to start designing tomorrow!!!

I love teaching kindergarten literacy at STEM! It is amazing to be a part of the reading and writing growth of a kindergarten student. You get to see kids move from knowing some letters and sounds to being enthusiastic readers and young authors. Archives
