All of our students from kindergarten through eight grade are able to design and create in this innovative environment. Kindergarten through fourth grade visit the lab once a week for the entire year. Fifth graders come twice a week for the entire year. Our middle school students will be in the lab three times a week for the entire year. Our program is designed to be an opportunity for students to learn, collaborate, imagine, create and problem-solve in a hands-on environment.

My name is Jane Kennedy, and this will be my second year as the STEAM teacher at St. Joseph Catholic School. I earned my B.A. in Elementary Education with a minor in Child Psychology from National College of Education which is now known as National-Louis University. I have also earned my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from National-Louis University. I am very excited for another great year of STEAM!
Grades K-3 will receive a Pass/Fail for their grade in STEAM. Grades 4-8 will be receiving a letter grade for STEAM. I will link the rubric that will be used for grades 4-8.
