Full steam ahead at St. Mary<br />
Catholic School in Mokena<br />
St. Mary Catholic School<br />
in Mokena provides a nurturing<br />
environment where faith,<br />
education, and moral values<br />
are promoted and reinforced.<br />
In order to further this mission,<br />
the school will be undergoing<br />
a renovation this summer<br />
to create a new three-year- old<br />
preschool classroom and contemporary<br />
STEAM (science,<br />
technology, engineering, art,<br />
mathematics) classroom.<br />
STEAM is a unique approach<br />
to enhance student learning and<br />
understanding of how all things<br />
relate to each other, in school<br />
and in life. It emphasizes the integration<br />
of the arts and offers<br />
more creativity to students in<br />
the learning process. STEAM<br />
allows educators to become<br />
more of a facilitator, while students<br />
are given greater choice<br />
and learning becomes about the<br />
process instead of the product.<br />
“We are blessed to be able<br />
to build this new classroom<br />
that will allow for the integration<br />
of the arts with science,<br />
technology, engineering, and<br />
mathematics,” states Beth Cunningham,<br />
Principal, St. Mary<br />
Catholic School. “We believe<br />
that by integrating our fine arts<br />
program into our existing science,<br />
technology, engineering<br />
and mathematics (STEM) curriculum,<br />
we will create an even<br />
stronger learning environment<br />
for our students.”<br />
St. Mary’s teachers always<br />
strive to engage students while<br />
making learning fun! With the<br />
addition of the STEAM room,<br />
St. Mary students will begin using<br />
TAB (Teaching for Artistic<br />
Behavior) art theory, working in<br />
centers where they may choose<br />
to create the art that excites<br />
