My Project

My students love to learn and play. One of their favorite things to do while in the library is play with stem centers.

My students love to work together as a group to build and create a world beyond their imagination.

They create some of the most amazing buildings and animals, then create amazing stories to go with them. These activities allow them to explore their creativity and build on stories and adventures they have found in books.

My students love to read and many of the adventures they create are from the stories they have read in a book or ones we have read together as a class. I truly enjoy seeing them bring these stories to life through the stem centers and their imagination.
