STEM Tools for Exploration

My Project

This year is my second year teaching First Grade. Both our ELA curriculum and math curriculums require different tools for students to use with STEM inquiry. Last year I acquired many tools to support these lessons, but I am still missing some of the required materials.

Your generous donation will provide students with tools that will assist in developing their interest in science and math.

These tools will help them find answers to their hypotheses.

I am requesting laminating pouches because last year I laminated many materials for my math and phonics centers. Laminating the centers enables the students to use the materials over and over.

Thank you for your support.
