My Project

Our students visit the Library once every four days. During each class we share a story and offer time for checking out books. Students often have a follow-up activity related to the lesson, such as creating a project, building with STEM materials, or coloring something related to the lesson. We try to offer materials that challenge their thinking in new ways.

This project will allow us to provide Rubik's Cubes and stacking stones for our students so they can practice problem solving skills.

Rubik's Cubes support students' fine motor skills and reinforce math skills and logical thinking. Stacking stones encourage students to look at situations in new ways while developing beginning engineering skills.

Rubik's Cubes and stacking stones help students improve hand-eye coordination, develop problem solving skills, and practice perseverance. This project will provide students an opportunity to have fun while developing these important life skills.
