My Project

I love how curious, creative, and eager to solve problems my students are. They thrive when they can explore ideas, test their thinking, and learn through hands-on experiences. These resources will help create an engaging STEM learning environment where students can practice, experiment, create, and collaborate.

The pencils and composition books will allow students to record observations, explain their thinking, and document their problem-solving process.

The dry-erase markers will support interactive STEM activities, quick problem-solving, and collaborative practice. The colorful markers will give students opportunities to design, model, organize ideas, and communicate their learning through hands-on projects. The mesh pouches will help keep STEM materials organized and accessible, while the disinfecting wipes will help us maintain a clean space for hands-on exploration.

With these resources, my students will have the tools to think critically, be creative, work together, and develop the problem-solving skills that are essential for success in STEM.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
