My Project

I teach Gifted and Talented students in grades Kindergarten through fifth grade. One of the things that my students thrive on is creativity and problem solving. Using critical thinking skills to solve a problem is something that we work on every session.

With these materials, students will be able to work together or independently to sharpen their critical thinking skills in a fun way.

These hands-on materials will help my students tangibly practice their engineering skills by creating mazes for either marbles or fake mice. Thank you in advance for helping bring these engaging materials to our classroom!
