It’s STEM Friday! (STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
Join Lee & Low Books and Anastasia Suen, founder of the STEM Friday blog and award-winning children’s book author, for a dynamic discussion on how to teach STEM in your classroom starting this fall. Share My Lesson is hosting a Summer of Learning professional development series and Thursday, July 9 focuses on all things STEM.
With the right tools and support, we will show how educators can support all students to become successful in learning STEM content knowledge and conceptual understanding.
We will look at persistent myths about teaching STEM, explore the intersection of STEM and English Language Arts, and reexamine what makes a great STEM read aloud.
Sign up to learn how to discover the right STEM book and hands-on activities for your students’ interests and learning needs. We will cover strategies on inspiring and supporting underrepresented groups in STEM as well as how to differentiate for special populations.
In addition to learning about how to integrate STEM learning throughout your curriculum, teachers can earn an hour of professional development credit! The whole series is FREE and open to all.
At the end of the presentation, you will have strategies you can apply immediately to your classroom and resources for further exploration.
Overview:
Title: Teach STEM Now
Date: Thursday, July 09, 2015
Time: 01:00PM Eastern Daylight Time
Duration: 1 hour
Cost: FREE

It’s April again, so we are making our 3rd annual call for original STEM haiku. Click on the National Poetry Month 2014 poster image to be taken to our 2014 STEM haiku page. There are how to write haiku tutorial links and the first 2 haiku for 2014: one about the big bang and one about Fibonacci numbers.
You can also take a look at the 2012 STEM Haiku and 2013 STEM Haiku that our readers shared.

Happy Groundhog Day! Last week the WordPress bot shut down the new Carnival of Children’s Literature blog before all of the posts were sent out, so on Sunday (the real Groundhog Day) I started the 2014 carnival all over again…on Pinterest! Well, I wanted the books we shared in the carnival to get pinned there, so now we’ll do it ourselves!
I added links on Pinterest to the blogs that came through before the bot shut us down. If your link did not go through, please email me so I can add it.
WHAT’S NEXT?
In February we will take the next step and make a GROUP BOARD:
What’s a group board?
A group board is a board that you, and others you invite, can all pin to.
WHEN CAN I JOIN?
I will set up the February Carnival of Children’s Literature on Wednesday, February 26th.
To add you to the group board, I need to know your Pinterest email address. (If you are NOT on Pinterest yet, this will give you time to join.)
I will make a call for addresses on February 26th. That will give us February 27th and 28th to add our links. (February is a short month!)
Thanks!

Today’s the big day! The Carnival of Children’s Literature goes live today for the very first time as a group blog!
You are invited to add your post to the new Carnival of Children’s Literature group blog!
Q. How can I add my post to the Carnival of Children’s Literature blog?
A. Email Anastasia Suen and ask to be invited to join the Carnival of Children’s Literature group blog.
Summertime is here! As schoolchildren gleefully break the bonds of their scholastic routine, summer reading is often the last thing on their minds. And when kids do think about reading on their time off, they’re often geared toward fiction. But fitting in some STEM nonfiction isn’t all that difficult. Kids are natural scientists—digging in dirt, inspecting tree bark, and generally marveling at the world around them. Capitalize on your children’s natural curiosity this summer with interesting STEM-themed titles. You might want to start with a book I edited called Slime, Poop, and Other Wacky Animal Defenses. It recently made Science Books & Films’ “10 Top Summer Books for K-4.” What other books make the cut?

It’s not Friday yet, but it is the first day of Poetry Month, so I’m sharing my post early this week to let you know that we will be inviting readers to share their original STEM haiku with us again this year.
Q. How do you write a STEM haiku?
A. Try this.
Q. What is the haiku format?
A. Haiku has 3 lines.

Share your original STEM haiku with us by adding it to the comments on our Haiku page.
