My Project

This year in STEM, students will have the opportunity to explore a hands on learning curriculum called i-Blocks. In the first unit, students will be exploring suitable class pet. In the next unit, grades Pre-K to 2 will be exploring speciality trucks.

To bring this vision to life, I am requesting a selection of books, educational materials, and tools, each thoughtfully chosen to meet the unique needs of my students.

Texts such as Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site," "My Pet Fish," and "Axolotls (Animals)" will encourage students to engage in reading and expand their knowledge of living things as well as support student research for the i-Blocks unit. STEM Materials like the Magnetic Blocks and 3D Printer Filament will help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Storage Bins and Organizers such as the Plastic Storage Bins and Lakeshore Magnetic Folder Bins will ensure our classroom remains organized and that materials are easily accessible for students.

My goal is to cultivate a love of learning through hands-on experiences with animals, science, and STEM activities. By incorporating books and interactive materials, students will be inspired to ask questions and pursue independent learning.
