STEAM Spotlight: Ms. Williams' Class

Ms. Williams' kindergarteners at Hall Fletcher have worked diligently to create a gingerbread model of downtown Asheville! Over the course of the week, Ms. Williams taught mini-lessons to small groups of students. With the help of media coordinators and parent volunteers, these groups took turns applying what they had learned to their re-creation of the town. Throughout this project, students have learned about common shapes in architecture, the importance of measurement when creating a scale model, and how maps can give us information about spatial relationships. One group even learned about river currents to make sure that the French Broad River was as accurate as possible.

As a culminating activity, Ms. Williams' students will Skype with a class from a different city, and each group will get to share its creation with the other.

Check out some pictures of these amazing kindergarteners in action! Way to go, Ms. William's class!
