My Project

I love seeing my students when they are surprised by something. I am hoping to add two STEAM centers to my classroom, one of which - Lakeshore Shake & Reveal Science cards uses iron filings to answer science questions and the other is an engineering center that will engage all of my students.

Kid K'nex will allow my students in kindergarten through fifth grade to enjoy engineering different creatures with fun shapes and eyes.

Additionally, I'm requesting USB-C power cords and a USB-C charging station to support an earlier project (Light Tables, Robots, Exploration) as that will be cheaper than repeatedly purchasing batteries.
