My Project

I love seeing students get excited about coming into the STEM Lab! They think it is a break away from their regular lessons since it is a prep class, but the learning that takes place is a joy to see. Every child is engaged in some sort of activity each day, and they are using their creativity to solve problems and discover new things.

The younger students who come to my classroom are learning to work in groups, working on making their designs come to life, and realizing how great they are at STEM!

This project will help provide cushions to sit on during the part of the class where students are sitting on the carpet, and a storage bench to keep supplies. It will also give us many pounds of kinetic sand and craft-type materials like pompoms, masks, feathers, and googly eyes, and help me to continue making the STEM Lab an exciting place to be.
