Downloading the May 2023 Calendar of STEAM Activities
The calendar is a PDF. Once you have downloaded, the set you will need to open it with a PDF reader like Acrobat Reader.
Exploring the Activity Calendar
You will be able to access the directions needed to explore each activity when you click on each of the May hyperlinks. After you get to each activity’s blog post, you will find a supply list and step-by-step activity directions.
Many of the activities offer free worksheets or recording sheets. You can use what they have for you to download or create your own versions of the activities if you like. The idea is to inspire you to explore STEAM activities with your children. You know what they can handle and how they like to explore concepts and activities.
A variety of different types of STEAM activities have been included on the calendar. You may find that some are more appropriate for older children while others are great for children of all ages. I think that some of them could be done with a partner or parent. However, some of you may have children that want to complete them on their own.
Books Based on the May Holidays

Cinco De Mouse-O would be fun to read on Cinco de Mayo.
The main character of Every Night is Pizza Night sets out to scientifically proof that pizza is the best food. This would be fun to read on National Pizza Night at the end of May.
Sally’s Room would be fun to read on Clean Your Room Day. All of the stuff in Sally’s room follows her to school and demands to be cleaned and organized. I love this book.
