My Project

This year was the first year that I created individual student STEM kits and they loved it! They used the kits after completing assignments and during indoor recess. The idea of creating individual kits was to reduce the spread of germs from student to student.

This project will allow all of my students to have their own personal STEM kit to be used at the start of the next school year.

The zippered pouches will be assigned to each student to hold all of their STEM items. Each kit will include a tub of play doh, a mini doodle board, unifex cubes, pop it fidget spinner and brain flakes. Students will be able to earn minutes with their pop it spinners after work completion or as a "brain break" activity. It can also be used to help students reduce anxiety.
