Wacky Wednesdays

As part of my building life skills homeschool curriculum, I represent Read and Grow Rich S.T.E.a.M. Faire by leading a Wacky Wednesday STEAM lesson at Reach Leadership Academy. I serve dual roles – instructor and photographer.

In April 2015, the lesson was a paper tower competition. Students in the 4th and 5th grade formed teams. Each team consisted of both 4th and 5th grade students. The goal was to build the tallest tower out of copy paper. The only rule was that the tower had to stand for 30 seconds.

In December 2014, students were in awe of our “Build a Train” activity. Parents donated cookies, candies, and a host of other sweet goodies. About 300 students used their imagination to build a train car out of the goodies. Yes, they got to take home their creation. I stopped to take photos with the Principal of the Day.

REACH Leadership STEAM Academy is a public charter school operating within the City of Riverside. REACH is a K-6 college preparatory elementary school with a Focus in STEM + Arts (science, technology, engineering, mathematics + art). With its college-going school culture, REACH utilizes a technology-rich instructional approach to learning that provides opportunities for students to learn through inquiry and exploration.
