Keep Our Thinking Little Hands Busy!

My students need quality materials, like the ones found in the Lakeshore STEM Bundle for K-Gr. 1 that are "hands-on" to explore, build, and problem solve.

My Students

My student are culturally diverse learners with a wide range of abilities. They have a least one thing in common--they love to learn! Their excitement thrives and their learning grows when they can use their senses to explore. They want to try things independently to see if they get the same results as their friends. They want to make things bigger, longer, taller, stronger, better, smarter, and any other "er" they think might work. Their have active imaginations and like to try new things. They are definitely "hands-on" thinkers!

My Project

Seeing and doing is believing! Using the STEM materials, my students will get to witness and experiment with scientific concepts like magnetism, motion and physics of movement. They will have opportunities to work together and see these concepts in action.

My students' hands-on learning will help them to understand how to solve real world problems like building a roof on a house that keeps out water.

They will be able to relate to the building dilemmas of the Three Little Pigs. I will be able to build upon these experiences to expose them to stories, fiction and nonfiction, where these kinds of skills are not only useful but essential.
