My Students

I see over 500 students in grades K-5 every week as part of their 45 minutes Specials rotation in our STEM classroom. My students are eager to learn and love hands-on activities that help keep them engaged in STEM learning! Using technology is exciting, but they are all so excited to “play” with manipulatives. They always ask if there will be enough time at the end of our technology lessons to work with the STEM centers because nothing engages a child more than that hands-on building!

My Project

Students in grades K-5 can use this new center during STEM class to model patterns, work on math skills, and create their own designs. Students will also be able to boost their hand/eye coordination skills by placing golf tees in the peg holes. Nothing builds a student’s confidence quite like using their hands to accomplish a goal! This unique center will allow students to work individually or as part of a team to complete challenges and just express their creativity! STEM centers are a great way to help students get into the “scientific” frame of mind!
