STEM Bins for 1st Graders (Title 1)

Funded Apr 18, 2024

I am absolutely thrilled to share the incredible impact your generosity has had on our 1st-grade students. Thanks to your support, we've been able to provide our young learners with STEM bins, which have become an integral part of our classroom activities.

The first time our students saw the STEM bins, their eyes lit up with excitement and curiosity. They couldn't wait to dive in and explore the possibilities that lay within each bin. From building simple machines to creating structures with geometric shapes, the STEM bins have provided endless opportunities for hands-on learning and discovery.

One particular moment that stands out is when our students worked together to build a bridge using the materials from the STEM bins. As they collaborated and problem-solved, I witnessed not only their creativity but also their growth in critical thinking and teamwork skills. It was a joy to see their faces light up with pride as they successfully constructed a bridge that could support weight.

Looking ahead, we're planning to incorporate the STEM bins into our literacy lessons, allowing students to use them to retell stories or create their own narratives. By integrating STEM into other areas of the curriculum, we aim to foster a holistic approach to learning that nurtures creativity, problem-solving, and a love for exploration.

Once again, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your support. Your contribution has made a significant difference in the lives of our students, empowering them to explore, discover, and dream big.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Greiwe
