  • Learning and Collaborating Through STEM Activities...and a Little Play!

    Funded Sep 24, 2024

    Thank you so much for the STEM activities for my students. They were so excited to open everything! The Legos! Oh My! This was their first time moving into connecting blocks of any kind in my room and some of our students had never used Legos before. They loved it! The magna-tiles where a huge hit! During one session they were building towers as tall as they are!

    The flower garden, where they get to put leaves and blossoms together to make a flower garden has been, BY FAR, the biggest hit! I had no idea how much the kids would enjoy building their "garden" and "picking" the flowers for their friends. I really thought this would appeal more to the girls but the boys, I think, have liked it the most. We always have to have a sign up list and set a timer for the kids so they can take turns without any meltdowns. It is definitely an activity that I would recommend to anyone for pretend play, building, collaboration and teaching cooperative play. The students have really had to work on sharing when this big bin of fun comes out!

    With your support, this was my first project that was funded and it has been an absolute success. I had no idea that people, whom had never met me, or my class, would offer to help us. It was a blessing and I will be forever grateful for your support of my students and classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Simpson
