My Students

I teach about 40 eager-to-learn 7 and 8-year-old children. Their love for learning is what makes teaching them so much fun. They come to school each day excited and ready to learn new things. They have overcome so many obstacles during this pandemic and I can’t wait to watch how much they grow and learn this school year.

My Project

My students are always looking for something fun and interesting to do when they are finished with an assignment. They would love to explore and build things with these STEM sets. They will be so excited to have to opportunity to challenge themselves with these activities!

STEM sets and activities provide hands-on and minds-on lessons for students that encourage healthy cognitive development, and sharpen a child's independence and their ability to overcome challenges in a fun way.

My students were in Kindergarten when the pandemic started, so their normal classroom experiences have been limited. Please help me to give them a variety of STEM activities to make 2nd grade a year that they will never forget.
