Celebrating STEM: Encouraging Science Discovery and Learning

Help me give my students fun and inspiring STEM learning incentives and rewards.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dooley's classroom raised $336

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

It is important to make learning fun and provide incentives and rewards to motivate our students as much as we can. Sometimes just a small token can make the difference to encourage a child to keep working on a difficult task or to reward them for persevering.

STEM is about using creativity and implementing new knowledge to discover and learn about the world around us.

This quarter I would like to focus on STEM books and resources in our library and offer incentives and rewards to students choosing to learn a little (or a lot) about STEM subjects.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
