Hands on Learning Under Construction

My students need STEM activities such as the Can Do! Science Discovery Kits and various Building Sets/Centers to allow them to learn with hands on exciting activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hunt's classroom raised $575

This project is fully funded

My Students

My classroom is made up of HeadStart, Title I, and Exceptional Children's students. They range in age from 3 to 5 and come from various backgrounds. Many of them are from low socioeconomic families, and many have delays in academics and social skills.

My students have demonstrated excitement, and a desire for learning when doing hands on, active, and engaging activities.

When engaged in these type of activities they have shown an increased desire to share, take turns, and work together.

My Project

My students love building, and "making " things happen. The NextX Building Construction Toys will allow them to do both. The magnetic tiles, following directions building set, and the bridge building set will allow them to use their imagination to create something as well as their problem solving skills to determine how to make their creations work in their individual vision. The storage containers will provide an organized way for the students to independently choose the kit that inspires them.

These kits allow them to work towards the science, math, and social skills in the Onslow county preschool curriculum.

The hands on component makes it fun and exciting for them. The magnetic wands and disc will allow multiple students to work together improving cooperation, sharing, and problem solving skills needed for success in education and life. I strive to build a love of learning in my classroom. These kits will provide my students with this opportunity.
