My Project

My classroom is requesting different projects for students to participate in within the area of science technology engineering in mathematics.

The laminator, anchor charts, money magnets, cards, experiments, and wobble stools will help children be successful while they learn about gravity, ecosystems and economy!

We work hard to supplement our curriculums, but we need your help to give students the experience of hands-on projects within our classroom!

Our goals for this project are to bring real life experiences into our classroom through STEM activities.

My students are special, because they often relate their newly learned skills to the real world experiences. They’re always trying to find ways to make the world around them a better place.
