Creating an Innovative Stem Classroom

Help me give my students a rug, tape, sign holders, and other items for a warm and inviting STEM classroom to explore and learn in together.

Mrs. Copeland Northeast Elementary School

Kinston, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

When a child walks into a warm and inviting classroom, it not only makes them feel welcome, but it also sets the tone for learning.

My goal is to create an engaging STEM classroom with ways to display their hard work, including pictures of the buildings they create, as well as have a classroom rug for my students to sit on when I read books about STEM.

The magnetic sign holders will be hung on the cupboard doors to display pictures and student work. The numbers will be put on the floor so students know where to stand in line. I have bulletin board supplies already, but I still need a few more items, including light covers to help reduce headaches from the overhead lighting.

I look forward to creating a classroom that my students can't wait to come to and can't wait to get creating!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
