STEM Kits for Kids

Help me give my students new hands on manipulatives to add to their STEM kits.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hayashi's classroom raised $398

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are in need of more hands-on manipulatives that they can use in class. I'd like to add new manipulatives to my student's individual tool kits. At the beginning of the school year, I created individual kits for each student to use to help stop the spread of COVID. The kits have fidget toys, math manipulatives and play doh. I'd like to add a few more items and to their kit and also replace some of them.

The building blocks and play doh will be added to their kits because they love building things and we will use them for various STEM lessons throughout the school year.

The class set of presharpened pencils will be used to replace the pencils that go missing or broken every day. Lastly, the velcro dots and double sided tape are used to display student work, projects and other classroom related items.
