My Project

My students are always up for a new challenge! They love to be creative and learn new skills through hands on activities. These STEM workbooks will help us to bring new challenges into the classroom using materials we already have access to. I will be able to use grade level appropriate challenges for all of my classes. The picture books are the way to help relate students to field STEM! Seeing themselves in the books we read helps them to think of themselves going into a STEM field of study!
