Morning STEM Play in Pre-K

Help me give my students PreK STEM activities for morning table top time.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Burke's classroom raised $238

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The materials in this Pre-K STEM project will help create morning play activities in our classroom. Students will work with these Pre-K STEM pouches each day when they have finished their breakfast. The materials for these STEM activities will be stored in a clear zippered pouch, allowing students to see and select the materials that they would like to work with each morning.

"Play is often talked about as relief from serious learning, but for children play is serious learning - play is really the work of childhood." Mr Fred Rodgers

The rainbow tree stacking blocks, the magnetic building blocks and clip connect blocks will allow students to construct interesting creations, balance various materials and experiment with different types of engineering manipulatives. The wooden pattern blocks, the transparent pattern blocks and snap cubes will allow students to identify shapes, describe patterns and measure objects. The counters, linking clips and sensory sorting math toys will enhance our Pre-K students critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Our hope, is that these Pre-K STEM morning play activities will provide some fun and engaging play time for students as they start their school day. Thank you for your support of this Pre-K project.
