My Project
I am a first-year, first-grade teacher and I'm asking for your help to share the joy of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) materials with my classroom. STEAM subjects are multitaskers--they integrate multiple disciplines, encourage exploration, and engage young learners in imaginative play. All children deserve the tools to learn about the world around them so they can go on to make their mark on it.
STEAM materials allow kids the resources to creatively envision themselves in careers that can change the world. These materials inspire wonder, problem-solving, and cooperation. With your help, we will learn about how tadpoles become frogs, discover the mysteries of magnets, and see how buildings stay up. Kids are full of questions about the world around them and need tools for hands-on discovery. Let's make a classroom where everyone can't wait to learn!
