Bring STEM Materials to Our Classroom!

My students need STEM materials to learn how to design and think critically!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barbadoro's classroom raised $246

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are hard workers who want more opportunities to grow and learn, but do not have all of the tools to do so. I teach third grade at an urban city school.

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom.

These challenges may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical." From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me.

My Project

I recently completed a project that involved designing and building with my students. They were critically thinking and creating, while socializing in a focused way. I want to provide them with more of these opportunities so that they explore the fields of science, technology, engineering and math through their creativity.

These STEM activities will provide hands-on and minds-on learning for the students.

Making math and science both fun and interesting helps the student to do much more than just learn.

I'm requesting LEGOS, Magnetic Blocks, and Coding mouse that will be paired with task cards for students to create different structures, or objects. These materials will also be used during free creative time where students can create based on their own imaginations. I have also requested building materials where students will be able to build larger structures such as houses, forts, buildings and more!

Teaching STEM in elementary grades opens the door for students to become tomorrow’s movers and shakers. The students in my class are our future engineers, microbiologists, mathematical technicians and beyond. They deserve to have these opportunities to explore!
