My Project

At the beginning of the year, we need to build a classroom community that will help my students feel confident and excited about the things we are going to learn together. These supplies are just the ticket. My students need the opportunity to learn through multiple modalities. With a variety of materials, like marble mazes, Jenga (for math games) and magnet tiles we will be able to expand on the learning that we do in class and deepen their thinking. I've also added some Science graphic novels to stretch our brains. I'm also requesting a paints and paper so that my students can join art and engineering together. I'm so excited for my students to work together on these activities and practice their teamwork skills. Time spent working on collaborative projects is important to our collective experiences.

The STEM activities will bring my students so much joy.

It's great for practicing our teamwork, small motor movement, patience, and persistence. Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity!
