Innovate and Create with STEM

My Project

The students I teach come from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. I teach first graders at a Title I school. I am fortunate to have a diverse group of students. At our school, we have a high poverty level. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Several students receive special education resource and ELL services. One thing all my students have in common is that they love learning. My students are in need of some materials. The Makey Makey will provide my students with creative hands-on STEM practice. The Ozobot will help students with math, science and coding skills. The charger will make sure that everything is ready to go and the sheet protectors will help keep materials ready for different groups. The books will provide students with reading material and the bug viewer will allow students to safely observe live insects.

The Makey Makey and Ozobot will give my students an engaging way to practice STEM skills.

This will enhance the classroom that I strive to create. I use these materials over multiple years and it make a difference in many lives. My students are thankful for the hands on learning opportunities.

Please consider supporting my students. You will be making a difference in their future by helping students build life long skills with these learning materials.
