My students need a variety of supplies to inspire their imaginations to design and create during STEAM activities.

Celebrating 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 wonderful kids that are eager to be challenged and inspired. They are a very diverse population in a low income area. We have a supportive school community due to the fact we are a Charter school. However, resources are limited as they are at most public schools. To keep these busy minds challenged and motivated, my students will need classroom materials to help them succeed in 2nd grade. I want to grow lifelong learners, Readers and leaders.
My Project
Enriching my students' learning is a goal of mine every year. This year, I would like to introduce opportunities for STEAM learning. STEAM is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.During weekly STEAM activities, students will be encouraged to solve engineering challenges using the Lakeshore Learning materials that I am requesting.
The introduction of STEAM activities in our classroom will encourage students to become creative and critical thinkers, problem solvers, and hands-on learners.The materials I have requested will make a huge impact on my students' learning.
These hands-on activities are projects the students can complete in small groups or independently. Students will be challenged to create various structures using the Design & Build Engineering Centers and Young Architects Design Blocks.
They will develop spatial reasoning skills using the Blocks & Blueprints Learning Center. Gravity, force, and momentum concepts will be explored as students use Create a Chain Reaction STEM set. Finally, students will be challenged to create a structure that will withstand the force of an earthquake using the Surviving the Quake Engineering Kit.
The STEAM learning materials I have requested will help give my students a hands-on approach to Science, Technology, Engineering , Art, and Mathematics(STEAM). Thank you in advance for your consideration to help out our bright 2nd grade students with materials that will help prepare them for the future.
