Activities include vocabulary lists with child-friendly definitions, additional ideas for learning and practice, sequence of development charts, and more.

This guide serves as a resource for educators using the Preschool STEM Kit in their classrooms, providing all the information they need about the kit’s contents and STEM learning in preschool. The teacher’s guide introduces HighScope’s STEM Early Learning Goals and offers strategies for embedding STEM throughout the daily routine, creating a STEM-rich classroom environment, and using supportive adult-child interactions to extend children’s thinking.

Family Activity Book:

In addition, each activity includes vocabulary words from the text with child-friendly definitions, suggested stopping points for teachers, and ideas for what educators might say to engage children in the reading process to support children’s comprehension skills.
