Projects & STEAM

Picture
Here is Maestra Sandra and amigos planting beans using: cotton balls, water, and small cups.

Here is Maestra Lizbeth showing amigos the reactions of "acids" and "bases". 

Projects are a great way to extend land create long term activities. Shorter activities like coloring pages and worksheets don't last so long and before you know it our amigos show signs of “bored-ness” and are ready for the next "thing". STEAM is also great because it integrates various subjects into projects that engage amigos! Below are some great science themed projects to keep amigos occupied.

Preschool Science 
These are all fun and easy activities that will keep amigos entertained over time. 

Rainbow flowers are perfect long term experiments. Have amigos take pictures so they track the flowers process over time.
Questions to ask: What do you think is happening to the flowers? Where is the color going? Maybe we can draw our guess?
En español:
¿Qué piensas que le está ocurriendo a las flores? ¿Dónde están los colores? ¿Quizás podemos dibujar lo que pensamos que está ocurriendo?

Planting Beans is also a lot of fun and a super easy way to track a plant’s life cycle!

For our Padres

The Environmental Group is known for their strict eco-standards. They have a great “Skin Deep” list that rates the ingredients, skin irritants, and products used on skin. Skin Deep 

With summer coming up we encourage you to look into an EWG Approved Sunscreen!
A rating of 1 is ideal, especially for our amigos sensitive and vulnerable skin. 

Green Seal is also a great website to check for certified “green-seal” safe products.

    Pasitos is an eco-friendly, bilingual community based on learning and fun. Through a play based Reggio inspired curriculum, children gain the necessary literacy skills to make them successful in both Spanish and English. At the same time, they build social and emotional skills in working with peers and the maestras. Together these skills help open their minds and language capabilities. Teachers interact with the children to build strong academics and positive social skills.
