My Project

My students have been hard at work learning about reading, math, and science skills during centers. They enjoy activities that encourage their critical thinking skills and creativity. This makes what they are learning more engaging and increases their chances of learning the skills they need to know because learning can be FUN!

However, we need more STEM materials for our class to use to explore the world around them and we need your help!

Your donation will allow them to explore engineering, math, and science concepts through building with magnetic tiles and building blocks, along with letters and numbers for the individual light up tables.

These materials will make it possible to extend our learning beyond the classroom and into our community by building homes, businesses, and workplaces they see every day. It will also allow them to stretch their minds and get creative!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
