My students have become more like a mini family, as most of our class were in Kindergarten last year and now growing together as first graders. They make each day coming to work so much fun and not like work at all. They are the favorite part of my day. My students love to learn and have such enthusiasm for all we do.
Our school serves students in grades K-5 and provides rigorous academics, fantastic teachers and a safe learning environment.
As a result of this, our teachers, including myself, are constantly trying to find creative an engaging ways to support our diverse learner population.
My Project
I am asking for a variety of STEM materials including two Marble Genius Marble Run Super Sets, two ZOOB BuilderZ 250 Piece Kits, two KNEX Model Building Sets, and an Ozobot Starter Pack.
An additional ozobot for coding, marble machine materials, and various building outlets will allow my students to let their imagination and creative juices flow as they collaborate their engineering ideas.
My students have been using various coding resources to collaborate and solve coding puzzles but they would love to have an additional ozobot to facilitate this collaboration, along with extra pens and large paper to draw the codes needed to operate the bots. Our class came up with the list of marble machine materials, Kenex and Zoobs to use for their engineering ideas. They are so excited to receive these materials and use them during our weekly class S.T.E.M. time.
