My Project

My new students will benefit greatly from the items in this project in different ways! These students will be my first class of students at my new school and I am excited to offer new and exciting opportunities in my classroom. Traditional classroom chairs can become mundane for the students, stools will offer my students a seating option for small group that is different than that. This will offer a more comfortable seat and promote deeper connections.

I believe STEM based opportunities help to promote the future leaders of America in a positive way!

STEM manipulatives will give my students the opportunity to learn how to solve problems more efficiently, connect and collaborate with other like minded students, as well as help teach students how to make real life connections.
