In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, my students will have the opportunity to engage in a hands-on learning experience using the STEM design process to create their very own leprechaun traps. To make this project magical and memorable, we are hoping for the following supplies: cardstock, construction paper, glue, and green beads.
Our goals for this project extend beyond the mere creation of traps.
Through the STEM design process, students will develop problem-solving skills as they plan and build their traps. They will also learn about collaboration and teamwork as they share ideas and work together on their projects. Additionally, the project encourages imaginative thinking, providing a fun and engaging way for students to express themselves while embracing the spirit of the season.
These specific materials were carefully chosen to enhance student learning in several ways. Cardstock and construction paper will allow them to design and construct the structure of their traps, fostering creativity and fine motor skills. The glue will serve as the magical adhesive that holds their imaginative designs together, while the green beads will add a touch of charm and allure to attract those elusive leprechauns.
What makes my students special is their boundless creativity, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn. This project not only aligns with our curriculum but also allows each child to showcase their unique talents. I believe that by combining education and fun, students will gain valuable skills and create lasting memories. Thank you in advance for your support in providing these supplies and making our project a magical experience for my first graders.
