Description
Looking for a fun and engaging Christmas or holiday STEM activity for your students? This Christmas tree STEM challenge connects STEM and reading to make one engaging, literacy based activity. In this activity, we are linking STEAM projects to a read aloud. This activity is introduced with the book "The Tree That's Meant To Be," by Yuval Zommer. After being drawn in by the amazing book, students will then set off to build their own tree. But it's not just any tree. After being introduced to personification, students must personify their tree. And. . .they must stay within a budget and can only use certain materials to build with. The activities included in this pack are perfect for the month of December and for an engineering project in the days leading up to holiday break. There is enough included where you could focus on this book for a few hours OR you could come back to this a few times during the week. Because multiple subjects are integrated into this pack, you will find many ways to use the contents.

⭐ This was an engaging project! The plans were easy to follow and implement. Definitely something I will use again year after year.
⭐ This was such a great lesson for my entire class. They absolutely loved every minute. I recommend this be a MUST DO every year. However, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to do this well. It isn't something to be rushed. Many types of lessons they students can learn with this.
⭐ This was a fun resource that helped science and writing go together. I also really liked the easy to find and use resources needed to create the trees. I can't wait to use this again this December. Thank you.
