Project Based Learning
STEAM at Washington Elementary
STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology,Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics. Our STEAM program is implemented through Project Based Learning (PBL) and has been supported by the New Tech Network, The Leader In Me and Joe Truss Inc. Each classroom was designed for Project Based Teaching and Learning!
It is important to note that STEAM is not a program, but a philosophy. Traditional education philosophy separate subjects completely, so that skills may be developed in one area and abandoned in another. In our real world, content knowledge is interwoven, layered and centered around a dilemmas that affects the community that we serve.
Creative Writing
Every week, our students dive into a creative writing adventure that sparks imagination and builds confidence! Through thoughtful prompts, collaborative storytelling, and playful exploration of language, young writers learn to express their ideas with clarity and flair. Each class is a chance to dream big, experiment boldly, and discover the joy of turning thoughts into stories. It’s more than writing practice—it’s a space where creativity thrives and every student’s voice shines.
