Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My new STEM classroom has learned a lot this school year and there are many key ingredients that help build success with my PreK-5th grade classes. Teaching my scholars how to work as a team and build empathy for others is still an everyday struggle.

While having a great new curriculum to follow was great, having mini projects and creativity outlets was a huge need across all my classes.

Across the board, students love to build. I have gathered many materials new and old to provide opportunities but there is always a need for more. Providing baseplates to build up or out with LEGO bricks allows my scholars to have a strong foundation. Providing KEVA planks is essential as they can be adapted to almost any lesson I teach! Providing durable, long-lasting materials will help improve learning in my classroom for years to come!
