My Project

Our school is a fine arts school with a focus on creativity. The students here love to work together and do things with their hands. These interactive STEAM toys and games will allow them to work cooperatively and challenge them in a small group setting. These toys and games will also help engage students who tend to struggle from conventional learning methods. This will allow all students to shine and show their strengths.

Getting hands on with your work is the best part of learning!

With these items, I will be able to provide fun and engaging activities that will allow all my students to grow and learn together. These toys and games will be used during small group rotations and provide fun learning opportunities for my students.

Mr. Nicholson
Grades 3-5
