Ms. Renatta and Ms. Naomi’s classroom at Brucker Head Start had a fun week learning how to care for the planet. The students became “planet protectors” as they picked up litter, planted seeds, and went on a nature scavenger hunt. They enjoyed the beautiful outdoors while celebrating Earth Day! 🌍💚 #SaginawISD #OurStory

Students exploring Jerome STEM Campus’ greenhouse had the exciting opportunity to harvest potatoes they planted back in January. This hands-on experience brought their learning full circle, as students planted, cared for, and ultimately harvested their crop.

Moments like these highlight the power of experiential learning and student engagement in real-world applications!

Hands-on learning was in full flow in Ms. Steckly’s classroom at Jerome STEM Campus as students explored fluid dynamics and discovered how water moves, reacts, and is absorbed in different environments. Each student engaged with their own materials to test predictions, spark curiosity, and deepen scientific thinking through inquiry-based learning.

What began as a structured exploration continued throughout the day as students extended their experiments, shared results, and engaged in meaningful academic conversations.

Just look at these smiles! Students at Jerome STEM Campus explored the connections we all share during a hands-on science activity with Principal Corey Nichols.

Today, students from Ms. Hewitt and Ms. Curtis’ classroom participated in an interactive project that demonstrated the flow of energy. By holding hands to complete a circuit using a special device that lit up and made a sound, students became part of a closed loop system. Breaking the circle showed how energy flow can be interrupted, similar to a light switch, helping students understand abstract scientific concepts through experiential learning.

These engaging, hands-on activities help students build critical thinking, collaboration skills, and a deeper understanding of scientific principles, all while having fun!

Students and staff at Jerome STEM Campus would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Saginaw County Health Department and their Community Outreach Coordinators, Megan Wagner and Jesse McLeod, for another engaging visit this month.

Through this ongoing partnership, students participate in monthly, hands-on outreach lessons that support whole child development. During March’s visit, students engaged in gross motor activities alongside an interactive read-aloud focused on the importance of healthy physical movement and overall wellness.

These meaningful experiences provide students with opportunities to build foundational health knowledge, strengthen physical development, and actively engage in high-quality, developmentally appropriate instruction right here in Saginaw County.
