This project is fully funded

Ms. Shields Coral Academy of Science Elementary School N.
Reno, NV Grades PreK-2

My Project

Students learn best through problem solving and discovery. These hands-on tools and activities will provide my students with excellent resources to learn new skills and independent practice for reinforcement. Lakeshore Fairy Tales Problem Solving STEM Kits and Create-A-Chain Reaction STEM Kit will provide opportunities to problem solve and work together while exploring scientific principals. The microscope will encourage students to be interested in science careers by proving opportunities to participate the activities we learn about.

First grade is a big step in the learning process and these tools will help my students start the year off with confidence.

Key Education Textured Touch and Trace Cards will provide small group letter formation practice and GiftAmaz 145 PCS Sentence Building for Kids will provide excellent practice forming words and sentences.
