My Project

My students will engage in what they already know while also being able to make real-world connections to their own daily lives. One of the best ways to introduce my students to our new study is by using STEM materials.

Before we ever put a pencil in a child's hands, those hands should dig, climb, press, pull, squish, twist, and pinch a wide array of environments and a wide variety of materials.

- Amanda Morgan

Providing them with a new set of tools and materials that will altogether tie into our 'tree-tastic' classroom transformation will build upon their imagination and beyond.
