STEM units and bundles bring forth the wonderful world of exploration, the intrigue of discovery and the power of learning. It is evident that knowledge combined with interactivity and hands-on units, can engage students and breeds learning at its best! Please bring this STEM bundle to my classroom!
Our Pre K-5th grade school is an elementary school.
We have 535 students here. I am a 2nd grade teacher who has taught other grade levels in the past before settling in 2nd grade. The children truly embrace STEM Projects at our school. I am interested a bundles that will offer my students a chance to learn by discovery and engage the students with higher order thinking skills. This 2nd and 3rd grade STEM bundle could indeed offer that. I'd like to have the combination STEM bundle for my 2nd graders. According to Lakeshore, "the STEM bundle equips students and teachers with everything they need for hands-on STEM exploration at the right level! From real-world challenges that ask students to plan, build and test everything from a stronger bridge to a more aerodynamic plane to exciting books that explore the science behind how trains work, how clouds form and much more—our bundle teaches kids how to solve problems…in a fun, engaging way." I'd love for my own students to experience this!
My Project
STEM.. what is it? How can it help in my classroom? First, STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering & Math education. The focus on these areas are a melting pot for skills and knowledge in each discipline. Obviously, these fields are deeply intertwined in the real world and it has been proven that students learn most effectively when used for hands on projects. As a 2nd grade teacher, I am requesting one 2nd-3rd STEM Bundle kit. Not only would these units bring collaboration, problem solving & discovery, but it will offer a variety of creative ways for learning in my classroom. These STEM projects will have my students working together to solve the problems that are presented. Each will offer discussion and problem solving along the way. They will learn higher order thinking as they learn science & engineering objectives. We know science works on a trial & error basis, which in turn brings important & powerful discussions in the process. What a wonderful way to learn!
What teacher doesn't love the words, exploration, discovery & the power learning?
The chosen STEM units and bundle I am requesting can bring forth the wonderful world of exploration, the intrigue of discovery and the power of learning. Add collaboration, creativity & higher order thinking skills to this equation & what do you have? Engaged & excited students who are learning! We're crossing our tiny fingers for an engaging & fun STEM Bundle! Would you help bring this powerful experience to us?
