From the Principal's Desk
Dear Blossom Hill Families:
Exciting news! We are well on the way to building a STEAM Lab for our K-5 students to explore scientific concepts using sensory experiences to develop their critical thinking, problem solving skills, creativity, and innovation.
In early February, the BH Team had a unique opportunity to collaborate with our district STEAM Teachers to design a STEAM Lab using principles from design thinking. The STEAM Lab we envisioned will provide a safe space for tools, technology, and materials for students to use when creating objects, projects, and/or prototypes. In this space and eventually throughout the campus, our students will have the opportunity to utilize the principles of design thinking, engineering, coding, robotics, and technology to bring their ideas to life.
Below is a diagram of the proposed STEAM Lab. We are extremely fortunate to have the support of our H & SC in funding a grant to purchase a new floor, furniture, storage, and supplies to bring our vision to life, along with One Community LG to fund specialist staffing for Teachers on Special Assignment (TOSA).
