Summer Fun with Mrs. Olson for Kinders & 1st Graders

SUMMER STORY TIME STEM for 2024 Incoming Kinders and First Graders at All Saints

Story • Science • Technology • Engineer • Mathematics

with Mrs. Olson

During STEM children apply technology, engineering, science, and mathematics as they make connections. In story time STEM, children will identify the real-world problem in the story, and…use science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, to suggest possible solutions. This also teaches text to real-world connections.

The sessions will be a fun way for the new kindergarteners to meet the former kindergarten students and have a chance to explore and build their STEM skills. Morning and afternoon sessions will be offered with a limit of 20 spots in each session.

Morning classes will be July 8-11 from 9:00-11:00 a.m.

Afternoon classes will be July 8-11 from 12:00-2:00 p.m.

The cost is $100. Drop off and pick up will be outside door G. Class will be held in room 214 at All Saints.
