My Project
STEAM education is crucial for building our students' 21st-century skills of creativity and critical thinking. As a K-4 STEAM teacher, I have the privilege of working with around 700 incredibly creative students from kindergarten through 4th grade.
One of the most essential parts of ensuring their success is being able to support their varying levels of ability and interest.
To do this, I am requesting building toys to create "brain bins" for open-ended creative exploration when students finish activities early. These brain bins will help ensure that students of all capabilities can use our time together to its fullest, growing their creativity and critical thinking skills.
Additionally, the rolling cart will help efficiently organize our early finisher area, allowing students to easily and independently access the resources they need to grow their skills. By supporting this project, you will help inspire and nurture the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
