Kate Shelley and the Midnight Express READING + STEM Elementary GATE
If you’ve come to know my units, you’ll find the same sort of critical thinking and hands-on exploration and creativity here . . .
Come all the way across the curriculum from READING to STEM activities in this hands-on unit. My advanced group 2nd graders loved this! I would use this for advanced 1st graders in their second semester or 3rd grade as well. I don’t think it would be a stretch to say 4th graders would enjoy it as well.

STEM Engineering for Elementary GATE - Wind Power, Windmills, and Wind
Two challenging but age-appropriate engineering projects highlight this unit. If you’ve taught my other STEM units, however, you know they’re not simply building projects. We’re thinking, learning science concepts, developing explanations, applying math and non-fiction reading skills, and bringing a wide variety of areas into a unit. But let’s not take lightly how cool it is to build and experiment with a cool mini glider and a working windmill!

GLITTER CLEAN-UP TOOL PROJECT BASED LEARNING Gold Medal PBL 3rd 4th 5th GATE
One of our 1st grade teachers came to talk to my class of 3rd graders. She was at wit’s end. She loves using glitter, but her kids are atrocious at clean-up. Glitter is everywhere! If she just had a tool that was fun to use for a 1st grader and effective. Of course, the tool would have to be made with common materials and easy to replicate. No teacher can afford to go around buying glitter tools … LAUNCH, and let the engaged learning begin!Your kids are going to love this gold medal proj
