My Project

In our classroom, students are set up to build independence and confidence in decision-making. The pencil sharpeners are tools for being prepared for the day as well as helping others by having extra ready to use when needed.

STEM projects are fascinating to third graders because of the endless possibilities!

Students sometimes follow step-by-step instructions and other times use what they know to discover new inventions. Even when it doesn't work out as planned, they learn to adjust, which is a life skill. Third grade is key for having the courage to try hard things...this project provides a scaffolding for them to do just that!
