My Project

My students are very excited to participate in STEM stations within our intervention classroom as a reward for a week of hard work. Through donors like you and DonorsChoose, I have been fortunate to receive many STEM materials like Brain Flakes, Magna-tiles, and K-Nex. These are wonderful, but my students and I need shelving to store these materials in an organized but easily accessible way. In a classroom, storage and organization of materials is crucial in providing the optimal learning environment. My children need a classroom environment that is comfortable, well-organized, and nurturing to do their best work.

According to Benjamin Franklin, "A place for everything, everything in its place." This is my classroom motto and having these shelves will allow my students the opportunity to put this into practice with our new STEM materials.
