Help Build Literacy and STEM Learning

Help me give my students literacy tools with the use of the stand up magnetic design center and exposure to STEM items.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McLaurin's classroom raised $545

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will help my students be more engaged in their learning through the use of the various materials selected. Receiving the items will help scholars to explore and to think out of the box by manipulating the building and literacy materials. Each item selected will reach students at various learning styles. They will be encouraged to create products that will extend and reinforce their learning. My goals for this project are that the materials help my students make connections that help them to become fluent readers and critical thinkers.
