My Project

When I took on this position last year I did not have a classroom. The teacher before me did and it was taken back and all her materials were gone. I have to be able to teach science on a cart. The class experience may be different but the overall experience and love for science is still there. Students are able to do hand-on experiments as well as other STEM projects.

Please help all my little scientists explore.

I teach a range of ages 4-11 and we need many different hands on tools to be successful in science . We need puzzles, material for experiments and hand on activities for my younger learners.
