My first grade students need a variety of materials to foster their love of creating and exploring through manipulatives and technology. Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Education is an essential piece of the development of critical thinking, creativity, engineering design process and problem solving skills for our youngest learners. My students will use the materials during our small group and independent work time. This will change my students lives for the better because they will be given the opportunity to learn creative problem solving, inventiveness, all while instilling the importance of collaboration and teamwork. One reason that it’s so important to encourage STEM learning early in schooling is that the process of inquiry that is integral to STEM is the way young children naturally learn. Young children explore, ask questions, and discuss their findings.
