My Project

How will the specific items you’re requesting make a difference in their learning?

Assist me in making learning more engaging for my students with more hands-on learning experiences through the use of STEAM materials.

Today’s children need to learn problem-solving skills and cooperative teamwork. By incorporating fun hands-on STEAM activities into our learning environment students will learn not only problem-solving skills but the discourse that is needed to be successful in negotiations, decision-making, and debate.

It is my goal that these materials will help to build cooperative learning and discourse in our classroom that will carry over onto the playground and into their communities.

The students in my classroom come from many different socioeconomic backgrounds and learning abilities. Half do not have access to STEAM materials in their homes and would only have access to them in our classroom. Please help us STEAM up our classroom.
