## [Benefits of Summer STEM Learning](https://yesblog.mos.org/benefits-of-summer-stem)

Summer is right around the corner! While summer is an important time for rest and rejuvenation, it’s also an incredible opportunity for students to explore new interests and expand their knowledge base. For STEM learning, this can be an opportunity for struggling learners to build confidence and confident learners to discover new passions.

## [The Power of Cross-Curricular Integration in Education](https://yesblog.mos.org/cross-curriculum-2023)

As educators, we know the importance of providing students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in the real world. We also want them excited and engaged along the way. One sure way to achieve this is through **cross-curricular integration**. Cross-curricular integration is the practice of connecting a topic which is traditionally taught as a stand-alone subject - such as ELA, math, science, social studies, engineering, or computer science - to a different subject area.
