My Project

Within our 3rd Grade Integrated Co-Teaching Classroom, our 23 students including students with disabilities love working with STEM and STEAM activities! Anything involving hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math really gets the students excited and involved with topics and standards within our curriculum.

These bridge tiles, building cubes, connecting builders, and popsicle stick activities will continue to inspire and improve our STEM skills within our classroom and beyond!

Being able to use these tools during our morning time will help support students grasps of science, engineering, architecture, arts, and even mathematical skills! The use of these tools will also support students gross motor and fine motor skills, especially with our students with disabilities!
