My Project

I would love to provide materials for my students to explore. Providing books and materials for STEM will help my students be able to explore and look for facts. I also would like to provide white boards for a different and fun way for my students to work on blending and writing words in whole group activities. I also included stem bin materials for students to manipulate and explore, create shapes and toys to use for rewards in our classroom treasure box. I feel that these things will help my students in spelling, reading, science, and behavior management.
