I am always looking for ways to add to my student centers. After the pandemic sent students home, all will return for the first time to in-person learning. What a great way to push all that screen time to the side to read something physically in front of them. What a great way to socialize with peers again by revisiting what working together looks like in the classroom while thinking creatively. These STEM challenges will be a great addition to my classroom. These will help my students problem solve, socialize, and be creative. Reading instructions in these challenges will help my students focus attention to detail, help with English language reading fluency and comprehension. Please help me fund this. Let's bring back the hands-on learning.
