My Project

Our students come to school to learn, build connections, and be happy. They are kind, safe, productive, and focused on their future.

Engaging and exciting hands-on STEAM activities will enhance learning and support my 5th grade students in the classroom everyday!

This project includes a variety of activities to reach the diverse interests and needs of my students. The beautiful new equipment in the hands of every student will be used STEAM lessons throughout the year. The benefits of having a wide selection of materials to make learning accessible to all are endless.
