My Project

The following items will help support our hands on learning curriculum. The new NGSS standards require our students not only learn science facts, but incorporate art and engineering skills too. The items purchased would allow all students in primary science the opportunity to be creative, and have the opportunity to be build different structures, the puzzles will help them to learn to plan ahead. These hands on learning opportunities will help to excite their learning and create curiosity which is very crucial to all of my students. Many of my students would benefit from the stimulation of these building materials! Some of the items on my list are incentive items that will help motivate students to work to their best abilities My students love patches and squishes! Anything you can contribute, would be greatly appreciated.
