Hands On Learning With Manipulatives and Stem Bins

Help me give my students stem bin activities and manipulatives for math and language arts centers

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McKenzie's classroom raised $565

This project is fully funded

My Project

Many students in 3rd grade have had many setbacks in their education due to the pandemic. I want to create a fun learning environment for these students.

The materials that I am requesting for my students will allow for them to be creative and express themselves when they are using the stem bins.

The manipulatives that I am requesting for my students will be used when we do our ELA centers and Math centers and will help those students who are at a lower level.

This is my first year teaching and I want to give these 3rd grade students a year that they will remember especially since I was supposed to teach Kindergarten but got moved to 3rd.
