My Project

Please help add to our STEAM program. The items ordered will help our students continue to learn in a hands on style, that will help inspire their love for exploration in science. Having hands on materials that children can hold will help obtain the ultimate goal of fostering interactive and dynamic learning where students can actively engage with materials, that will create life long learning experiences. These items will help foster curiosity and my hope is to inspire students to ask questions and create a desire to continue learning outside of the classroom.

Creating real world experiences have been known to enhance and inspire student learning and many of these materials will be used to create exactly that.

The mini micrsocopes will help spark interest and allow students to see objects and living things up close.

By adding incentives it will help foster a positive learning environment to encourage students to continue to try to do their best work and work in an organized productive manner ! Many of these objects will also be used to promote depth of knowledge thoughts and allow students to show their creative and artistic talents. The models I have requested will help to show students how things look close up and how some things function in real time.
