My Project

My 1st grade students are curious and creative, and love nature and animals.

Due to Covid, many missed out on important pre-school math and science play, which builds curiosity and drive towards those subjects.

By bringing math and science tools into our classroom, our students can dream up possibilities and follow through on their questions. By giving them tools that they can build with, we are fostering future engineers. By using a microscope to study the micro world around us, we are creating future biologists and chemists.

Help me make our classroom STEM ready for this coming year!
