My Project

This project is preparing my STEM classroom for next school year. This school year is coming to an end and my students have totally rocked. I am looking for new skills to introduce for next school year. The Mirror Me This document camera will introduce art skills to my students. Many of them asked to get more engaged in the arts next school year and this program will help. The STEM kits will introduce new skills to my 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. I polled my students and many of them asked to engage in more art skills and new kits for the STEM lab.

Mirror Me in STEM will supply my students with new kits for our STEM lab.
