Each day I have an amazing opportunity to grow, laugh, explore, and experience new learning concepts with 26 bright and full of life seven/eight year olds.
My students are part of a learning community which focuses on leadership skills and STEM related projects.
They work each day sharing ideas, collaborating as a team, and building on knowledge through hands-on experiences. The students in my classroom are always eager to ask questions and learn from their mistakes through the learning process.
I teach second grade in a school which has only been open for five years, we are still adding to our supplies and don't always have the necessary learning tools to help meet students' needs.
My Project
I want to give me students time to build, think, and learn more with their hands. Materials like building blocks, kinesthetic sand, snow flakes connectors, and IQ Builders can give my students opportunities to explore the STEM design model and think outside the box.
Students learn best by doing and moving with their hands.
These tools will be placed in bins and students are able to explore the items during the morning before instruction begins. I will also enhance my lessons and STEM activities by using these tools. I will also use these hands-on learning tools during inside recess (due to weather conditions) so students can keep their brains moving and their little bodies busy. Not only will these tools enhance my content and give students time to explore, but my students will learn to play collaboratively with others as they share, build, and learn together.
