If there is any time to focus on hands-on STEM/STEAM learning it is during the holiday season. Check out these free Thanksgiving STEM projects to explore during November in your homeschool.
Don’t you and the kids need a break from the tests, worksheets, and lesson plans? There is something about this time of year that makes my kids and me not want to do typical homeschool work. We just cant concentrate.
We might get through the first couple of weeks in November fine. After that, we have turkey on the brain.
This time is just perfect for some fun STEM projects to get science, technology, engineering, math and art all in one go. Trust me, STEM makes your homeschool routine much easier during the month of November in preparation for Thanksgiving.
Your children learn so much with STEAM/STEM without even knowing just how much they get out of it.
Don’t pressure yourself into intense lessons for the whole of November. Take a break from the norm and try out some hands-on Thanksgiving STEM projects to make the very most out of the holiday season.
