Even before we step into the STEAM classroom, we are well prepared for what we need to do. A preparation class always occurs in the morning where we go over material that is related to the task for that day. Sometimes it's a story, other times it's some new vocabulary or concept to help get our minds prepared for the practical application of the idea.

We learned the vocabulary for several Halloween monsters and did a class worksheet and drawn plan based on the words we learned.

Then the time comes for us to go to the STEAM room and physically produce what we learned about.

The children were divided into 6 groups and each group had a different Halloween monster they had to create. Each table had a picture of their monster and were given supplies to achieve the task.

They are allowed to choose almost any medium they desire to express their creativity.

The teachers strive to not help the children unless very necessary.

The work usually starts off slowly, as the children are trying to figure out how to approach their tasks, but after a while, they start working at full speed.

Some children take longer than others and some children are more creative than others, but with STEAM, every child makes a masterpiece.

Working on tasks like these help the children develop hand eye coordination, creativity, thinking ability and problem solving skills to name a few.

STEAM class is always a highly anticipated activity during the week and the children always enjoy working with their hands.

At the end of every class, we hope that the children can be proud of their creations, as well as having a physical production that they can show to their mommys and daddys.

STEAM class helps to mould the future Scientists, Technicians, Engineers, Artists and Mathmaticians of the world, and it all starts right here.

在开始 STEAM课程之前，我们需要做好充分准备。准备工作总是在早上开始，我们翻阅与当天任务相关的材料或者复习资料。有时是一个故事，有时是一些新的词汇或概念，这些能够帮忙我们的头脑为实际应用做好准备。

本节STEAM课程是以万圣节为主题的。我们学习了几个万圣节怪物的词汇，并根据所学单词做了课堂作业表并制定了计划。

然后，到了我们进入 STEAM教室动手操作我们所学到的知识的时候了。

孩子们被分成6组，每组都有一个他们必须创造的不同的万圣节怪物。每一张桌子上都有一张怪物图片以及完成任务所需要的材料。

他们几乎可以选择任何他们想要表达自己创造力的媒介。

除非有必要，老师们尽量不帮忙孩子们。

这项工作通常开始得很慢，因为孩子们试图找出如何完成他们的任务方法。经过一段时间的思考与尝试，他们开始全速工作。

有些孩子比别人花的时间长，有些孩子比别人更有创造力，但是有了STEAM，每个孩子都能完成杰作。

从事这些工作有助于孩子们发展手眼协调能力、创造力、思维能力和解决问题的能力等等。

STEAM课程是孩子们在一周中最期待的活动，他们总是喜欢用自己的双手工作。

在每节课的最后，我们希望孩子们能够为他们的创作感到自豪，也希望他们能够有一个可以展示给妈妈们和爸爸们看的实物。

STEAM课程有助于塑造未来世界的科学家、技术人员、工程师、艺术家和数学家，一切都从这里开始。
