Hands-On STEAM

My students need hands on building items such as Legos and K'nex to help our creativity flow! We are using these items to strengthen our STEAM knowledge and allow students to build and create projects with these hands-on materials!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Drewes's classroom raised $471

This project is fully funded

My Students

I get the honor to teach sweet kindergarteners each day! The world is such an amazing place for them full, of wonder and excitement. They are constantly wanting to learn and get their hands dirty with what we are doing in class each day! I love how much they love coming to school each day! We live in an area where students are supported by teachers, families and the community! We look to put the most engaging and effective resources before our students!

My Project

My students will use Legos, Lincoln Logs, and K'nex along with other hands-on items to build and create projects! These hands-on materials will engage students with STEAM skills and allow them to work with their hands to plan and build items that serve a purpose for them! We will use these items to help students build items such as bridges, houses, chairs and several other items. These items are a great way for students to not only use their engineering, science, and math skills but it will also allow students time to collaborate and work with peers in a successful way! I cannot wait to get these materials in their hands and allow them to start creating and letting their imaginations flow!
