My Project

I am a first year teacher for 1st grade, and would love to provide my class with hands-on learning activities to engage them during science!

I have noticed that, while my students love and look forward to each subject throughout the day, they are significantly more engaged and excited when there are projects that they are able to interact with physically.

I would love to provide them with science activities that they can see and touch. I know that by incorporating activities to learn about scientific concepts such as the solar system, life cycles, animals, and many more, I will be able to foster a deeper appreciation for learning!
