My Project

Building future engineers is a high priority in our classroom. We want to create opportunities for our young 4 and 5 year old students to explore their creative genes. By offering STEM building opportunities are students will be able to use their higher level thinking skills and explore the opportunity to think and create in the classroom. I love when the lightbulb comes on and you can see the insight inside their minds as they are creating things independently in the classroom. Many of my students come from low income families and they don't have STEM toys at home to build and create with. We want to make sure that all our students have the opportunity to let their science minds flow!
