My Project

We believe in fostering curiosity and creativity from the very start. Our students are eager to learn through hands-on activities, and they are natural problem-solvers. We are located in Arkansas, and many of our students come from families with limited resources, making access to enriching materials even more crucial. The Lakeshore Fairytale Problem Solving STEM Kit would be perfect to use as an introduction to STEM with already purchased fairy tale books.

In our library/STEM, primary students will have the opportunity to:

-Integrate: Literacy is a great way to introduce hands-on problem solving.

-Experiment and explore: They will test out different concepts and learn from both successes and "oops" moments.

-Collaborate and communicate: Working together on projects will build teamwork and language skills.

Your generous contribution will directly provide our young learners with the tools they need to become confident creators, innovative thinkers, and collaborative problem-solvers. Thank you for helping us build a brighter future, one creation at a time!
