Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

My Project

My students are on the autism spectrum and they are fascinated by building and models. They too, deserve a chance at learning about engineering at an early age and having these manipulatives relaxes and calms them down. Incorporating STEM activities into their daily instruction will sprout creativity in them. These STEM materials will also encourage parents to know how best to support their children's interests once they spot them early.

We will be totally honored and our class will put the items into good use.

We want to thank you in advance.
