How We Got 28 Weeks/26 STEAM Fridays:

40 Weeks of Student Contact
(We took away no school on Fridays, holidays, breaks; and included the last day of school- Friday, June 9)
40 Weeks - 12 Weeks = 28 Weeks
28 Weeks of Student Friday Contact
(We took 2 weeks out for the first two weeks of school, since we are not starting STEAM Fridays until Friday, September
23)
28 Weeks - 2 Week = 26 Weeks
26 Weeks of STEAM Fridays

Adjustment for Science Fair prep

- Shortened all rotations to six sessions
- Have two weeks without STEAM to support our students with their projects, as well as integration into other
appropriate subject areas, i.e. reading, writing, library
