My Students

My students are loving, creative and thoughtful students! We live in the foothills of North Carolina in Wilkes County. They are excited about learning new things! The students in our classroom enjoy engaging hands on activities that challenge and grow their brains!

My Project

The STEM center will allow kindergarten students to be imaginative and creative while challenging their brains! Students will use the STEM materials I have selected throughout the day and across subject areas to engage in a variety of challenges.

My students love being creative and imaginative.

I believe it is very important for younger students to use their imagination. Students will have a variety of building tools to use when working on STEM-based projects. They will be able to choose the tools that best suit their project and design.
