My Project

STEM materials provide my students with hands-on, engaging learning experiences that spark curiosity and critical thinking. Through exploration, they develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and a deeper understanding of real-world applications. These FIRE tablets, lab coats, printer paper, safety glasses, rubber gloves, pipettes STEM kits, animal crackers, and construction paper encourage collaboration, resilience, and a love for discovery. What I love most about my students is their enthusiasm, unique perspectives, and eagerness to learn. Their curiosity and determination inspire me daily, and I take pride in watching them grow into confident thinkers who embrace challenges with excitement and perseverance. They look forward to our time together in STEM club!
