    Hello,

     

    My name is Mary Jane Zavala-Padron. I am a Pre-K teacher at a private school in San Antonio, Texas. This coming Fall I will be teaching STEAM (STEM) curriculum for advance Pre-K classroom.  Does anyone have any resources that will be useful tools for me to use  in my classroom for center activities

     

    Thank you,

     

    Mary Jane Zavala-Padron, M.Ed.

    Sorry I don't have a curriculum book suggestion as I mainly used information from trainings I have attended or from the Head Start website, but here are a couple other places to look. 

    info@thegardenlearning.com

    I just got the first link a bit ago about books with actual photos and they are all supposed to be STEAM related.  I have not gotten into them, yet, but am going to order a copy of one to see what they are all about. 

    This one is just another good resource of information.

    Good luck!

    Hi, I actually work for a Early Head Start/Head Start agency in Tulsa.  I have been training STEAM for the past two years and the Head Start website has some great information on it.  Just go to the website below and then in the search bar type STEAM and all kinds of information will come up.  https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/

    Hello

    Regents' Center for Early Developmental Education has the Center for Early Education in STEM.  The website offers many free resources - highly developmentally appropriate, research-based, and Constructivist approach.
