Poquonock School is proud to announce that Mrs. Carrie Canoni and Mrs. Monique Scott have been named Yard Goat’s STEM All-Star of the Game. The Hartford Yard Goats and CGI recognize students and professionals in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through the STEM All-Stars of the Game program. Honorees are recognized on-field and on the outfield video board during the pre-game ceremonies and throw a ceremonial first pitch.
Mrs. Carrie Canoni is the amazing STEM Coach at Poquonock School. She ensures that every student has a hands on and meaningful STEM experience. In addition to designing and supporting staff in implementing the STEM curriculum she goes above and beyond in designing additional Science Lab experiences for all students. She wants to ensure that every student sees themselves in STEM and highlights the work of diverse men and women in the field of STEM. She also leverages community partners from the West Hartford Children's Museum, NASA (Plant the Moon), and Local Windsor Master Gardeners to provide additional opportunities to inspire our students with STEM experiences.
Mrs. Monique Scott, in addition to her commitment to the amazing STEM curriculum at Poquonock School, is passionate about immersing her Kindergarteners in STEM experiences. Her classroom could easily be mistaken for a children's museum. She enhances the stem math and science curriculum by providing her students out of the box experience such as the creatures that she's had over the years, including a bearded dragon and two axolotls this year, to encouraging her students not to settle just for knowing and writing numbers up to 100 but to go above and beyond to join the 1000 Club! She leverages her families to transform her room every year on the 100th day of school- this past year she created an incredible Escape Room Experience where students needed to solve STEM puzzles, avoid "lasers", and unlock the secret of 100.
