My first grade students learn best when they are able to use their hands to make their learning concrete. I am looking to use STEM projects in my room as much as possible this year. The STEM kits will be used throughout the year in the different units of learning we have. Our first use of these will be for our folk tales unit this fall. The students will be able to better understand how the characters of these tales would have problem solved. The students will learn problem solving that will carry across all areas of academics as well as into their lives as well. The kits will create an easier way for them to access science every day. They beg to do science activities, because they find science interesting and exciting. With the STEM kits we will be able to plan during math and think of the logistics, then spend our science time creating and doing.
