Help me give my students a chance to work cooperatively together, develop social skills, think critically, learn building and engineering, and have fun!
My students are lively, hilarious, unique children. Many of my students are part of the Early Intervention Program, meaning they are struggling with reading/writing or math. My hope is to support my students by offering STEM bins for them to use each morning. These bins will allow my students to work cooperatively together, practice building and engineering skills, and focus on critical thinking and problem solving skills.
Our school is a one-of-a-kind place full of teachers who truly LOVE teaching and absolutely LOVE our students!
We are a Title I (low-income) school in the small town of Centerville, Georgia! In this small town, is a community that loves and supports it's children!
Please help me help my students become more cooperative workers, better engineers, and more critical thinkers!
My Project
In an educational world that is so extremely focused on academics, students rarely get a chance to just play and create, especially as they get into the upper grades. I think that we should keep students excited and loving school as long as we possibly can. Having these morning STEM bins will give my students a chance to have fun first thing in the morning while also getting their brain awake and ready to go for the day!
These morning STEM bins will let students show off their creativity in a critical thinking and problem solving way.
Students will be able to come in each morning and have a little quiet time to really prepare themselves for the day and immediately feel some success and pride in creating something interesting and beautiful or working cooperatively through a difficult puzzle.
