On May 16, parents were invited to join their Mineola elementary learners in the classroom for a special “Celebration of Learning” event.
The interactive visits, which took place at the district’s Hampton Street School, Meadow Drive School and Jackson Avenue School, offered family members the opportunity to collaborate with their student on a STEAM project, spend time in the classroom participating in a lesson or activity and view student artwork on display throughout the school hallways.
STEAM education is an approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills and promote creativity and innovation through hands-on, collaborative experiences.
