My Project

Our room is a very special place where second and third-grade students speak eight different languages and come from five different countries. These children are finding common ground in the experiences they share as they explore the world around them.

ALL children should have the opportunity to build cooperative skills as they explore STEM challenges.

The LEGOs and Marble runs we are asking for will allow us to learn engineering skills and principles of gravity and motion as we come together in groups. Teams of three will have the chance to work together during our science block in hands-on exploration.

Students in our district are happy kids engaged in healthy relationships on a path to gainful employment. These building sets will definitely keep us happily learning together as we discover whether a career in science is right for us.
