My Students

My students are kind, compassionate, self-regulated, creative and enthusiastic learners. They crave hands-on activities, and they love to use their imaginations. They are constantly building with whatever they can get their hands on. These materials will also help them to better communicate their ideas to others.

My Project

My students will use the stem building items upon entering the classroom in the mornings during breakfast. The building items will also be used during our integrated units and project based learning, as well as during many math and even writing lessons.

My students are eager, natural creators and builders, and these items will give them freedom to construct.

The building items will foster positive communication between my students, and give them confidence in expression. Using their imagination and being able to communicate effectively is key to building future innovators.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
