My Project

The materials I have requested will greatly improve our centers throughout the year. Our school has transitioned to being a STEM school. We would like to integrate STEM into all of our centers throughout the day. These center materials go along with our STEM program. Students will be able to explore motion, magnets, and shapes when using these materials during center time. They will be able to use the materials to build letters and numbers.

Learning is fun when we have hands on centers to help our students learn their numbers, letters, and science concepts.

Hands on learning is a great way to meet the needs of every student. Each student learns in a different way, so these materials will allow us to differentiate our learning times and to give hands on experience to those that need it. Interactive centers will help our students grow in their academic learning throughout the year.
