My Project

We need to build a classroom community that will help my students feel confident and excited about the things we are going to learn together. These supplies are just the ticket. My students need the opportunity to learn through multiple modalities. My students are so excited to learn about the Earth, science, and climate change. We are going to write reports about our favorite animals and how they will be affected by climate change. Our following unit will be about how we can be change-makers in our own homes regarding climate change--which is where the experiment kits come into play. I'm also requesting snacks and noise-canceling headphones so that my students' basic needs are met and they can focus on their work together on these activities and practice their teamwork skills. Time spent working on collaborative projects is important to our collective experiences.

The STEM activities, books, and snacks will bring my students so much joy.

Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity! And thank you for believing in my students.
