My Project

Imagine starting your day with creativity and fun! Imagination sparks ideas and gets the brain juices flowing! The light bulb moments are what make teaching fun! I love watching my students' little brains at work. Seeing them create in a risk-free way is what it is all about. Students can do this through building, modeling, and making meaningful connections. It is my hope and goal to provide students with morning STEM bins. With Donor's Choose, I can provide each child with materials to explore and dive into what appeals most to them.
