My Project

The Thunderbird is our school's mascot. All students (thunderbirds) in Kindergarten through 5th grade will be able to utilize these materials for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math).

When we introduce these fun, educational tools, there is no stopping the excitement and learning that goes on in class.

My students love to learn and explore. They enjoy using new materials and seeing what they can do with them.

The items on my list would be very beneficial in many ways. We will use the LED Light Panels, along with the translucent geometric shapes, magna tiles, and magnetic shapes to allow students to build and use math and engineering skills. The Makedo kits and cardboard scissors will allow students to use their imaginations to create and build, using skills in art, math, engineering, and teamwork.
