Building Cooperative Learning With STEM in the Classroom

Help me give my students problem solving and cooperative learning skills with Fairy Tale STEM kits!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Larkin's classroom raised $939

My Project

Incorporating STEAM project-based learning with critical and cooperative thinking is an effective way to help students develop problem-solving skills. By using the Fairy-tale problem-solving kit in our classroom, we can create an engaging and fun learning experience.

My goals are to foster creativity, curiosity, and collaboration skills.

Every student's unique background, experiences, and perspectives enrich our learning environment. I am excited to see my students learn from each other as they engage in collaborative problem-solving activities. It is my hope that by using this approach, my students will not only master the academic content but also develop critical thinking and teamwork skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom setting.
