Innovation Energizes Smart Stars

Help me give my students these amazing hands on slime kits for my stars to imagine and make as part of science and learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vang's classroom raised $342

This project is fully funded

My Students

My stars are the best! They are smart and full of energy. They are energetic and loves to have fun. They are learning and rising to be shining stars.

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions!

They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions!

They come to school each day ready to try new things. They are ready to take any challenges that come their way. My stars are motivated and studious. They are growing both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

My Project

These projects and prizes that I have chosen for my class will help to stimulate the brains of my smart stars. I will implement all the materials for small groups and independent practices.

With these new innovations, my students will be able to choose from a variety of slimes, playdoh and emojis that will allow them to work independently in their small groups.

These slime making will continue to enhance the science learning sensory. They will also be able to invent new slimes and be a scientist. The star lights will help to create the classroom setting. I want to make the classroom a place that my students really enjoy coming to school and learn. The playdoh, the letters and numbers cut out will help my stars that need a little hands on to have that sensory. It will help the stars to grasp and feel the letters as they make it independently! Every student is treated with love and care so they can have opportunities to explore. I have also chosen some prizes with emojis that will help with feelings and expressions. They can choose to write about their feelings and expressions during small group.

All of these materials have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the past few weeks of school and see the needs and prizes that will motivate them to do well. Students will be able to choose the materials that will help them to continue to enjoy independent small group time. The best way to increase innovators is to give them the ability to have hands on more, and these materials will continue to help my students grow stronger with their thinking and hands on making.
