Students need more time to explore and engage in activities that are self-guided. I would like to start each day with a "soft start" method where students can explore and engage with each other without the pressures of paper and pencil work. Bins will be available for them to explore for the first 20 minutes of the day. Donations to this project will improve social skills while students make observations and learn from each other's discoveries. Students will explore multiple areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). They will learn about patterns, chain reactions, physics and so much more.
