My students need littleBits and Snap Circuit kits to extend and reinforce their knowledge of circuits and their real-world uses.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Griner's classroom raised $325

Celebrating 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 Students
I teach at a Title 1 school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. I have high expectations that my students will grow and achieve beyond the expectations set for them. We study STEM topics such as robotics, engineering and coding along with our curriculum.
School is a safe and fun place for my students.
They enjoy coming to school and learning through hands on, engaging activities. For many of my students, school is the highlight of their day.
My Project
An important 4th grade science standard is understanding how simple circuits work. This is an abstract skill when trying to listen about it in class. However, once students get their hands on batteries, wires, bulbs, and switches, this abstract concept becomes much clearer. Being able to actually manipulate the supplies to have a light turn on teaches much more than reading a passage or answering questions.
The materials I am requesting will provide a hands-on experience to assist students in learning about simple circuits.
Snap Circuits and littleBits are easy-to-use electronic building blocks that when placed together correctly, will create a simple circuit. In the process of building circuits using littleBits and Snap Circuits, students will learn and use important vocabulary about circuits.
My students are very enthusiastic about learning! They love working in small groups and exploring to figure out the answers. Having the hands-on materials to explore circuits would absolutely amazing, plus a great life skill to learn.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
