Build, Create, Make - Mornings Started with STEM

Help me give my students STEM options to start the morning off building and creating.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Coleman's classroom raised $381

My Project

My vision is to get students building, creating, and using their imagination more in my classroom! I want students using these items in the morning, indoor recess, STEM days, and just when students may need a tactile break throughout the day to reset.

These items, such as the SmartGames IQ Bundles, Straw Constructor Toys, and Smart Coins, will provide my students with the necessary STEM items and storage to provide them with the opportunity to create, build, and make during the school day.

This has been a big goal of mine to find materials that upper elementary would use and love. These items were helped picked out by my students and would benefit many classrooms to come.
