Hello Beacon Families, 

I hope our Beacon community is doing well during this difficult time.  I hope that the digital learning resources that I have provided for the students will help bring a little fun into your day and continue their growth at home. 

On this webpage, you will find a calendar of activities, links, and videos with ideas and instructions on different STEAM activities.  I have created two calendars.  One for K-2 students and the other for 3-5.  The 3-5 calendar also has some digital options for online STEAM.

Fine Arts, Health and Wellness, and STEAM should compromise 20-30 minutes of the 200 total minutes time.  I suggest you do a different subject of FA/HW/STEAM each day.  I included all the tasks on the calendar to give students the ability to choose what they would like to do.

I would love to see pictures of anything the students do.  Please feel free to email me at elnorman@dorchester2.k12.sc.us and comment on this page with pictures. 

Remember that learning doesn't need to always use a pencil and paper!

Nature walks - great for observing different types of plants, insects, and animals in our habitat.

Cooking - use your Math skills and help measure the ingredients.  How does baking use chemistry? What helps turn the batter into a tasty treat?

Board games - Don't have one ? Create one! Or play one that uses money (Monopoly) or one that uses strategies to win (Scrabble, Clue?).

I miss you and can't wait to see our Beacons again soon!
