My Project

My kindergarteners love to come to school. They look forward to the day's activities, and they love to learn. I am requesting magnetic tile builder sets to use during STEM time. We are in need of magnetic tile sets to go with our science units. My English language learner and newcomer students will benefit from these magnetic tiles by using them to practice language skills during role-play and play time with their peers. The magnetic builders will also help with critical thinking, a STEM skill.

STEM education creates critical thinkers, problem solvers, and innovators.

Better STEM education will lead to an interest in this very important field. I want to work to encourage all of my students to invest in STEM learning. The magnetic sets will be perfect for my students to use in their STEM bins. STEM education is critical at this time. Thank you for your support.
