Middle Country Central School District’s Oxhead Road Elementary School students are taking part in a year-long collaboration that teams younger students with older students to perform experiments and STEM activities. Each first grader in Ms. Goldberg’s class has been paired with a fourth grade student in Mrs. Kelly’s class to work through a weekly STEM assignment—with the fourth grade student acting as the team leader.
This ongoing initiative serves as an opportunity for the District’s younger students to learn from their older peers while at the same time enhancing their problem solving skills and fostering the development of peer interaction. The District continues to provide students with educational experiences that engage them in STEM outside of regular classroom work and through interactive partnerships.
