I believe that children learn best when actively engaged in learning activities. After all, who wants to sit and do busy work all day? S.T.E.A.M. is a focus for our school this year. Having a variety of supplies available will enable students to use their imagination and creativity to think "outside the box." This is a great investment as most items are inexpensive and user friendly. The trend of the future of America is focused on science, technology, problem solving, and working together cooperatively. When students use those higher order thinking skills, their world opens up to many opportunities for success!
