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

At my school, we begin each day with 30 minutes of club time. I am the sponsor for the Architecture Club. My students choose a partner and a STEM related manipulative each morning. I would love to add to my collection of STEM manipulatives in order to give my students a better variety of choices.

Working with these materials gives each student a chance to use their creativity and practice working with others.

Because we are a Title I school, most of my students come from situations that do not allow them exposure to STEM kits/resources.
