  • Stem Lab

    Funded Mar 18, 2025

    I'm writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contributions that made the "STEM Lab" project a reality. Your support has allowed me to create a unique and engaging learning space where students can explore the fascinating world of science through the delicious medium of cooking.

    Thanks to your funding, we were able to purchase all the necessary materials to kickstart our hands-on learning experiences. Our inaugural activity, the "Dirt Cake" project, was a resounding success! We began by planting seeds, then seamlessly transitioned to creating a delectable dessert mirrored the soil where our seeds were planted. The students were absolutely thrilled to combine crushed Oreo cookies, creamy pudding, and gummy worms to create their own edible "dirt." This activity not only taught them about soil composition and the life cycle of plants but also fostered teamwork and creativity.

    Next week, we are diving into the world of baking, and the anticipation among the students is soaring! They are eager to apply their newfound knowledge and skills to create even more delicious and educational projects. I am confident that these experiences will spark a lifelong passion for STEM in my students.

    Your belief in my vision has transformed my classroom into a vibrant hub of learning and exploration. I am immensely grateful for your partnership and your commitment to empowering the next generation of scientists and bakers.”

    With gratitude,

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students will keep them engaged throughout the year. I know exactly when everything will be used. The calendar and schedule charts will be placed up front and use every day to keep us all focus. The plastic tablecloths will help transform our classroom into a restaurant for our delicious book tasting, or a Writer's Cafe. We will also have a Racing Unit to integrate STEM into our learning. The canvas and paint will be used to create masterpieces as we also integrate art into our learning. The 152 crayon collection will be used daily and will provide my students with new color vocabulary. The hats will complete my students' outfits to get them excited about our work. The donations to this project will help the students to learn in an engaging way, they will love to learn and work at the same time. You will provide a year of transformations and engaging learning!
