Welcome to Mr. Carey's STEM and PE Page
Thanks for stopping by my website! This site will give you some insight on what we are planning to do at Gravenstein Elementary for Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and Physical Education (PE).
While you're here, check out my YouTube page for some math and science videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt3MxKTizPltRD1f1NmTk2g |
STEM |
Gravenstein Elementary School has a first class Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math program. Our STEM program begins with our outstanding classroom teachers using the NGSS aligned "Amplify" program, which blends hands-on investigations, literacy-rich activities, and interactive digital tools to empower students to think, read, write, and argue like real scientists and engineers.
From there, we take it a step further with hands-on, lab centric experiments to challenge Gravenstein students to explore additional science concepts. Our technology lessons will center on using Chromebooks, iPads, and Ozobots. Physical EducationGravenstein Elementary School's physical education program is a great mix of the physical P.E. subjects (coordination, basic throwing and catching, running) with the mental lessons of teamwork, sportsmanship, and hard work. However, we don't stop there and take it a step further, looking to find a sport (team sport or not) where students can find their niche. At the end of the day, I am not concerned with how many baskets a student made, or how fast they ran; rather, I focus on whether have they made progress, did they learn something, and are they ready to come back for more!
