My Project

I love how curious and eager my 2nd graders are to learn! They are always asking questions and love hands-on activities that challenge their thinking. These STEM resources will help my students explore science, technology, engineering, and math in ways that are fun, engaging, and meaningful.

With the storage boxes, Play-Doh, building blocks and other hands-on STEM tools, my students will get the chance to build, experiment, and problem-solve, developing critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills.

Each resource will cater to different learning styles, ensuring that every student can succeed. I'm excited to watch them light up as they discover new ideas through hands-on exploration and creative thinking!
