This week in STEAM!


This week students had the opportunity to have their first taste test in the cafeteria with Harvest of the Month, with our AmeriCorps volunteer Julie Prince. Every month students can try a new food, and vote if they like it or not. This is a part of her wide work at Linda Vista STEAM Magnet School which includes, maintaining our garden, teaching garden lessons as part of our STEAM program, and offering an after school garden club. The programs at Linda Vista would not be possible without the help of our incredible parent volunteers like Marissa Grant! Linda Vista STEAM Magnet School created a school garden and outdoor learning space as part of their magnet award in 2013. Having students learn to capture their observations and pose questions is a building block of their STEAM curriculum.
