My Project

Students are curious by nature and are only stopped by limiting what they have available. My students need supplies to make sure that they are able to create the masterpieces that they envision with the supplies that they need.

Being able to make that something extra goes a long way to seeing students wanting to keep creating and exploring.

Ultimately, they are problem-solving in a fun way. Giving the students a variety of materials, giving them constraints, and then letting them work with their group to create and problem-solve is the best part of our day!

Students can take cups and pipecleaners and make the stages of a plant cycle. They can use cups to measure to do an experiment. The students will be able to use the chalk to learn the difference between erosion and weathering. The pom poms, eyes, and washi tape are perfect for use on Dot Day! These are just some of the things that my students will be using the supplies to make and explore!
