My Project

The best part of my day is when the students get to choose which STEM bins or activities they would like to use. This is the time for all students to show their creativity and it allows them to express themselves without constraints. It also gives them freedom to design things, use their imaginations and just have fun. In addition, it teaches them how to share, work together and listen to each other's ideas.

I love to see my quieter students more willing to participate and become actively involved, without needing any encouragement.
