My Project

If we are to get this project funded my students will have access to hands-on materials such as building blocks for the light table, art materials and STEM activities.

Students will be able to use these materials on a daily basis to grow their minds.

Students will work together to build various buildings with magnetic blocks. They will work on color, shapes, sizes and counting.

My students are attending a Title 1 school and half of my population of students have special needs.

Students will use flashlights to discover shadows and how to make them.

We hope that we are able to get this project funded to increase hands-on multi-sensory activities.
