Building Better Minds

Help me give my students more STEM materials. We do STEM Fridays and these would be great additions!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Adams's classroom raised $402

My Project

Every Friday, we do STEM bins after lunch. I allow my students to use the materials to build or create whatever their minds can come up with. We also use our STEM materials on rainy days, where recess is not an option.

We are building better minds every day, by allowing students to create.

My students love using these materials and have come up with some pretty cool creations in the past. As my classroom grows, I find that we need more materials to keep up. Help us build better minds in Montessori.
