Hello Students and Families! Here is a new STEM read aloud about a man named Neil Armstrong. He was an astronaut and one of the first people to ever walk on the moon! He worked hard and failed many times before he achieved his dreams. He never gave up!

There's also an easy exploration you can do to see which paper column shape will hold the most books? You really only need 3 pieces of paper (copy paper or construction paper). One paper is folded into a triangle shape, one folded into a circle shape (cylinder), and one in a square shape. Then slowly pile books on top of the column to see how many books you can pile up! Which shape do you think will hold the most books?
