My students need to stretch their imagination and challenge themselves to use engineering and problem solving skills with these fun and engaging STEM activity kits!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Miranda's classroom raised $529
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Every day my students rush into my classroom excited to build our classroom community into a family. Our classroom is a safe place for them to explore learning and grow into college and career ready learners!
My students live in an area of highest poverty in town and 100% of the students at our school receive a free lunch.
We are a Title I school and all of my students are English Language Learners and they are all also diagnosed with Autism. Many of my students have significant behavioral issues that impact instruction for themselves and their classmates.
My Project
I cannot think of a better way to allow my students to stretch their imaginations than to challenge them to use their engineering and problem-solving skills with these STEM activity kits. The magnetic stand-up whiteboard will be a great addition to our science center for planning and drawing strategies as well.
Building robotic hands, roller coasters, vehicles, bridges, houses, and creating chain reactions will be such fun and highly engaging ways to practice these important, lifelong skills.
Not only will these centers cover our new science NGSS standards and STEM goals, they will also help my students practice working cooperatively in small groups. Teamwork makes the dream work!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
