My Project

These specific items consist of learning and building games throughout the day. These learning centers will assist my students with their fine motor skills and engaging with their peers. My goal is to allow students to learn their lessons while working with hands-on activities through Science, Math, English and Social Studies.

I am so proud of my students each and every day!

They are enthusiastic and enjoy working on self-driven projects. Our goal is to promote STEM education, hands-on learning, and community engagement. STEM activities encourages students to become communicators and problem solvers while making learning fun.
