My Project

Each year I try to find a creative STEAM activity to complete with my kindergarten and first grade students to make something special for their mom for Mother's Day. This project will help our students learn about candle making, but also make a gift filled with love.

Candle making is not something many of my students will ever have the opportunity to do.

It is my goal to bring new experiences to my students so that they can learn and make memories at the same time.

This is a project that my students will never forget!
