My Project

My students are so curious about bugs and how things work. I am hoping to gather materials that can be used for many years to come. These resins will last the test of time as will the simple machine toys.

Students can play and learn at the same time.

These concepts are just what we learn in 2nd grade and would really meet the need of my students. My students would be so appreciative to have real bugs to look and and real toys that teach them about the real world.
