I loop with third and fourth grade and teach them Science & Social Studies! One of their favorite parts of class is when they get to do hands-on science. Their collaboration and excitement towards learning is contagious around the classroom! It's a great feeling when they enter my room excited to learn each day. Some students are also fast learners so I love to have activities for them that are ready to go, where they can be independent and extend their learning at their own pace!
My Project
My students love Science! I would love to be able to have more hands-on Science materials for my third-grade scientists to explore. In class, we discuss rocks, minerals, and fossils. Having these items to go along with our lessons would greatly benefit my kiddos! As we all know, people learn best by exploring hands-on. Having manipulatives for my students to explore and engage with, help make an impact, and provide them with more meaningful learning experiences. I am asking for the items on my list to boost hands-on engagement, so students can self explore with guidance. Anything that adds to their love of Science is a win for me!
